On July 20, 2009 Jonathan showed mom and dad he can remember locations away from home, even if he is not exactly there. In other words the boy can tell direction.
On July 20, 2009 Jonathan walked deliberately from a street corner to his favorite ice shop. All alone! Mom and dad just followed after Jonathan showed a particular inclination to walk in a certain direction from the aforementioned street corner.
The ice shop is maybe just 100 m from the street corner, where the experiment began, but it was wonderful to see how Jonathan could remember where the shop is in relation to the street corner.
Also in his trips near home, Jonathan has favorite spots that he will always visit when he goes out. He runs up to the post office, loves to play hide and seek in the post boxes niche, stops to ring the bell of the large house next to the post and to play with “the boy in the glass” of the bank nearby.
The next favorite spot is the supermarket and most particularly the large coolers and the emergency door. And then there is always the elderly group of people whom Jonathan greats whenever he passes by them (they sit in the shade near the super market). Jonathan gives them high fives!
