Reading the map

A few weeks ago we bought 2 maps at a store in Huntington Village. One of the United States and one of the world. We thought we would put up the one of the United States first, to introduce her to the idea of our country.

She was immediately drawn to it and wanted to know what it was all about so we started showing her some states. For example, "We live in New York. This is New York." Then she started pointing to other states and we told her what they were. And last week we realized that she knows all of the states, Puerto Rico, and the Canadian Provinces! She is such a little sponge!!! We are so proud of her.

Hopefully we will get a video of her reading all of them in one sitting but obviously it takes a while and this video is already 4 minutes long. I added subtitles because the sound quality isn't fantastic and I know that not everyone has the ears of her mother and father. :)
