Human GPS....

otherwise known as Erik! Erik is only 22 months old but he seems to pay close attention to where we are driving and can anticipate what he is going to see next -- even though I don't tell him where we are going.

Today we went to his friend Sean's house. On the way there we pass a shopping center. About 3 weeks ago Erik was at the shopping center with Victor. They heard some church bells. Now every time we get close to the shopping center Erik announces that the church bells are off.

We also passed by a playground on the way to Sean's house. We have been to the playground 3 or 4 times. Today we were about 1/3 mile away from the playground (you could barely see the school that it is part of). Erik must of noticed because he announced that the boat was coming up. You can't see the boat from the road but he knows where a boat is parked close to the school.

I am amazed that Erik pays attention to where we are going and also impressed that he can remember what is coming next. I have to say that he seems to be a pretty smart little boy (of course I am a bit biased).
