A while ago, we bought Jack these place mats from Walmart . . . one with a U.S. map and another with a world map. During his afternoon snack, we've started playing a game with his goldfish (or whatever snack happens to be). I put a cracker on every state (or country) and he names the state and can eat a cracker.
He knows most of the states and quite a few of the countries. He asks to play the game regularly, and if we can't, he plays it himself.
Thank you, Pepperidge Farm.
Today Jack showed me where South Korea was, and when I asked who was there he said, "Sara Hornback, and she misses me very much."
