Connor's fascination with American geography dovetails perfectly with the start of the summer traveling season. He is so excited that in only three days, he will begin a trip that will take him "Mississippi-Alabama-Georgia-South Carolina." Every few hours he asks, "Can we go now?" It's going to be very exciting.
Uncle Hubbard has also helped the geography come to life. A couple of weeks ago he was in Boston, Massachusetts (a capital), and on Friday evening he called to say he was in Wyoming (Connor's favorite state, you may recall). He sent text message updates as he hit various states: Utah, Idaho, and finally his destination, Oregon. Connor knows that he left his truck in Little Rock (another capital).
You may think this ambitious for a two-year old, but the truth is: I find it a whole lot more interesting than playing with cars, trains, or Legos. Luckily for me, sometimes Connor does too.
Isla - every time Rhode Island is mentioned, Connor says your name. I think he associates "island" and "Isla." That makes sense, because he doesn't know what an island is ...

That is smart! It took my contemporaries until third grade to make the connection between my name 'Isla Anne' and the word island.
