Since the debut of our “states” fun back in April, a lot of people have asked about our progress.
So, I finally remembered to videotape it.
Disclaimer #1: Yes, the angle and lighting start out bad. I promise I fix it after a couple of states.
Disclaimer #2: Yes, I know that this video is long. But there are a lot of states. Gimme a break.
Stats:
2 1/2 Years old
2 1/2 Months of learning (or, the “fun new game”, as Ali thinks it is)
3.5 pounds of Pistachios
1/2 million marshmallows
150 Yogurt covered raisins (for variety)
p.s. – I just figured out the trick of stealing and re-rewarding today – but she didn’t seem to notice too much. Cuts down on the sugar intake nicely.

W.O.W! That is amazing!!!
She cracked me up the looks she kept giving her cup and you everytime you stole her candy, and then the time she says, "I still got plenty." Too funny! She was on to you.
Awesome job!! That is really amazing!
AMAZING! Did she say Starbucks comes from Washington? LOL! LOVE IT!
Cream cheese cup! Oh yeah!
p.s. E-mail me your mailing address. I have something for Ali.
That is amazing!
I am so impressed, she's so smart & she has a great teacher!
I am not sure what to think of a mommy that steals back the rewards for getting the answer right. She is awesome.
Wow — that's WAY better than what I can do!
Way to go, Ali!
she did very good.
Whoa!
Another thanks for linking up!
Wow, what a smart girl!! She is just plain adorable. I love the split-second offended look she gives you when you steal her treats!!
