ham states

The little man has become increasingly interested in US geography. One of his favorite games to play is Mama-Doesn't-Know-Where-the-States-Are in which Mama misplaces the states in the giant US floor puzzle and he teaches me where they actually go. Needless to say, he's gotten pretty good at knowing where states go and recognizing the shapes of states. I might go so far to say that the kid is better at geography at four than I was at 15.

The other day Ed gives him a side of ham with his oatmeal and cuts it up for him. He eats all but leaves two pieces on his plate: Minnesota and Oregon.
