I have to brag...

Joshua is an amazing little boy, oh wait...big boy! :) Yesterday we were sitting at the kitchen table talking about various things when, out of the blue, he told us that now that we were in Texas we lived closer to Grammy and Papa (who are in Florida). He proceeded to go get his US map puzzle out of the closet to show us. He pointed to Texas and said what state it was, and then, as he pointed to each state he named which ones we would have to drive through in order to get there: Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and then Florida. Neil and I about hit the floor! I have worked on the states many times with Joshua, but it has been awhile. And never has he done anything like that, completely unprompted, and entirely correct. Wow! What an amazing moment!

Way to go, Joshua! You is definitely ahead of the game. You know, when we lived in St. Louis I had high school students who had no idea that Illinois was just on the other side of the Mississippi River. They thought it would take hours to drive there since it was "another state". Sad, but true. I'll bet Joshua could tell them differently! :-)
