Like cartographer, like son


Barclay drives me crazy with his love of maps and direction. I drive him crazy with my "directionally challenged" ways. Poor Mr. Dean...he'd be heartbroken to know how bad I am. Oh, well. Langston has the love for maps and direction. He recently put together (with a little help) a very difficult U.S. map puzzle. He has an easier one, but this one was a challenge. OH, and he picked up Florida and said, "Hey! This where Daisy lives!" :) He also knows that Calvin lives in Utah, all the grandparents are in Alabama, and Leslie & Logan are in Tennessee. I usually try to think of who is where and relate it to the state so that he remembers. It works for him.

As you know, Cal loves maps too. He also knows IL and AL because of Langston. We've left the ventured past the states we know people in, and he knows about 25 at the moment! L. probably knows all 50 by now, knowing him!
