OK, I finally got a rendition of Avery singing the 50 States song. It's not the best picture quality since I got it at the end of some video of us playing another game together, but you get the gist. Please excuse the untied pants and dirty shirt. :)
In this version, she remembers 33 states and skips 17. She has, at one point or another, sang all of the states, but never gotten (that I've noticed) all 50 in one rendition. What seems to happen is that she commits a block of them to memory and sings those over and over for a while, then she'll work on another block and sometimes leave the previously learned block out. Then she'll eventually add the dropped block. This cycle is continuing, so maybe she'll do all 50 in a few months? Who knows. No matter the number she misses, I am so proud!

Who cares about Oregon and those others anyway?? Very impressive Miss Avery!
FANTASTIC
I thought I heard a Connecticut somewhere in the final moments :) outstanding and truly amazing what toddlers can do.
Awesome even if she did forget Oregon! Your proud Mama sent me to link so I wanted to say Hi.

Super cute, and golly that song brings back memories. Did you have the Wee Sing America cassette tape back in the day?
@Mommy (A) - No, I didn't have that tape. We learned the song for our 4th grade play. I remember thinking at the time that I never wanted to forget the states because it would be handy to be able to list all 50, so I'd sign the song every few months and never forgot it. I'm so glad I did!
I have listened to this almost every day and it makes me smile. You should have been a teacher, Megan.
High five to both of you!
