States and Capitals

Okay, not really.....but a few months ago, we taught AJ the names of the states of where all our family lived. So, if you ask him, "where does Papa live? Uncle Barry?" etc., he could name the state that person lived in. All total, AJ now knows the following states and who lives in them: Ohio, Kansas, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, Arizona, and most recently Texas (well, he sort of knows Texas). My mom came for a visit the end of June through the beginning of July. While she was here, I was discussing with her that Dave's brother, wife, and kids were moving to Texas. So, one morning, we were talking about this and I told AJ that Dean was moving to Texas. He repeated Texas. Then later that afternoon, we were in the swimming pool and AJ just started talking about states and where people lived. My mom wanted to know if AJ would remember what I told him in the morning, so she asked him if he remembered where Dean lived. AJ said, "Yes, Texas Roadhouse." For anyone reading this who does not know, Texas Roadhouse is Dave's favorite restaurant. My mom said this was a sign that we eat out too much. She's probably right. Now my son thinks his cousin lives in a restaurant.
