He no longer uses the wall map for reference–he’s stored all the images in his head. This child obviously does not share my difficulties with visual memory! I love the label he gave to his drawing/map: World History.

So he drew that from memory? That’s really really amazing.
He’s been drawing maps everywhere recently–outdoors with sidewalk chalk, a whole wall of little maps drawn on paper in the house, he even cuts them out with scissors without drawing an outline first–I picked up a piece of paper off the floor the other day and found it to be in the shape of a rather detailed outline of North America. I should see if that one is still around and post a picture of it! Yesterday he was drawing little continent maps in his math book in the place of answers to his problems, giggling all the time: “one hundred plus one hundred equals South America!”
Can we get a video version? This is awesome.
Unfortunately I can’t upload video on this blog (have to pay for an upgrade for that…) but maybe I’ll try to make one to post elsewhere.
Also, I love the sharks. Reminds me of old maps: “here be dragons…”
wow!
This is really amazing.
I am so impressed! Wow! Great Job, buddy….and Mom!
