My Very Own Little Global Positioning System

Her name is Olivia. This is what she looks like...
Yes, she is my new GPS.
Three short stories to prove it all happening yesterday and today.
We went to the county fair this weekend and parked at Middle Valley on Crabtree Rd.
So yesterday when we passed Crabtree, she pointed and goes, "Where did the chickens go?" (Asking about the ones from the fair) I was amazed that she remembered that is where we had gone to park!
Today on the way to school, we were about a half mile from the gas station and couldn't see it yet and she said, "The gas station is back there, in the back, behind that house (pharmacy)" Then we got closer and she looked at the pharmacy and said, "Ooopsies! That not a house!!" So she remembered where the gas station was without seeing it first AND she was able to tell the difference between a house and a business.
We got closer to her school (before she could see it) and she pointed at the light and said, "Turn here! My school that way!!" and pointed to the left.
She is becoming so good at directions and knowing where she is!
Also, anytime we go to Hixson, she says (to get home we have to...) "Go by my school, go by church, and go by the ice cream (Nana's)!!" And then she watches and points out every place and she knows about how much longer we have until we get home. What a smart girl!!
It's so fun watching her grow up and learn new things every day!
