Today, Riley learned something about our new place. There's a balcony-area overlooking our living room. Since we moved in three weeks ago, he had failed to make the connection that he could look over the balcony and see the room below.
Today, he finally made the connection, and I was able to catch his post-discovery excitement with a photograph. It's amazing how proud he can be of himself over such a simple thing.
In fairness to Riley, we have had the balcony blocked with boxes until recently, so although Mensa isn't likely to send Riley an invitation anytime soon, he hasn't exactly had daily opportunities to figure this puzzle out before now.

Did he learn to look up to you guys as well?
That's actually a funny story. He did figure it out... on the second night or so. He had passed out on his back in his chair. Steph and I were talking on the balcony when he woke up, and his head just happened to be positioned to see us up there. That's the only reason he figured that out.
Unfortunately, it's a big leap for his little mind to figure out that he should therefore be able to look down from the second floor.
