The United States

Ok, so I am going to be a bragging mom for a second. I figure it is ok since most of the people that read this blog are family who would be equally proud of little Jackson. Santa gave Jackson this puzzle map for Christmas (Jackson even told me that he thought the elves did a great job carving all of the states!) He has picked up on this so well, I cannot believe it. He is seriously a little sponge; he knows almost all of the states by shape and location. Now he will be eating something and compare the shape of it with Louisiana or some other state. He is also recognizing the words of the states. Yesterday he saw the words "New York" in a book and knew what it said because of this map. Santa got this on Lillian Vernon in case anyone is interested. My Dad got him a globe earlier this year and he knows where Sri Lanka and Madagascar are as well. Great way for him to learn!
