At a friend's (adults only) house we were visiting, ds 6 is entertaining himself by playing twister and discussing characters from books he has read including Mr. Poppers Penguins, Wayside School books, others. (Just as a mother is telling me how her dd7 can't read and is not meeting grade level.)

So, another friend takes ds to show him a globe. After listening and conversing for 10-15 mins, ds says, "Thank you for teaching me about geography. Now, I want to know more." "Mom, did you know where the artic circle is? I know it was on top, but that globe made me see it in a different way." Guess, I'm getting a globe for him:)
