caught on film!

we've been bragging about our smartypants. i confess, i learned my states right along with him. but it still surprises me that he actually KNOWS all the states!
i picked up the puzzle at a thrift store when he was little, but he found it this past spring and has been totally into it ever since. we aren't quite sure of his system for memorizing the states, but he does know them by shape. when eating a piece of toast he has been known to say, "it look like wisconsin!" - and sure enough, it is the shape of wisconsin (which i now know since i have worked on the puzzle umpteen times as well). the other day we were looking at clouds and he said, "it's tennesee!", and while it was a stretch, the cloud sure did look similar to tennesee.
we don't have a video camera, but i have been wanting one for the sole purpose of catching this on film before it no longer seems like a big deal. so we finally caught him working on his states at a friend's house. i am sure that accounts for his few mistakes. we'll have to get him on his own turf. i love how this clip also captures his non-stop activity. he doesn't stop moving!
next step: the world map!
