where do they live?

okay. this really happened - matt is my witness. we were having dinner a week ago and telling madelyn about nana coming on monday night. here was the conversation:

mommy: "who's coming tomorrow?"

madelyn: "nana. nana. nana."

mommy: "where do papa and nana live?"

madelyn: "kansas."

daddy: "who lives in florida?"

madelyn: "grandma and pop."

mommy: "where does uncle derek live?"

madelyn: "georgia."

mommy: "where does madelyn live?"

madelyn: "wisconsin" (said "scon-sin")

really. that is almost the conversation exactly. we went through it twice because i was so shocked (and daddy was even more surprised because he doesn't review the map with her) before i got the camera. and, of course, she just kept saying that everyone was from wisconsin so it was useless in proving that she can do it.

for the record, i don't quiz her on the maps. she brings it to me and asks me to tell her about it so i tell her about where all her family lives. i had no idea she was retaining so much of it because we have maybe done this 5 - 10 times. i was really surprised at our dinner conversation. love.
