Rachael Ray: Rachael's Daytime Talkshow
The Little Geography Wonder
According to her father James, Lilly's amazing map reading ability came about by accident. "Lilly's uncle went to Taiwan when she was 16 months old," he explains. "And she wanted to know where he went. So we found a map and pointed to Taiwan. The next time she saw the map, she pointed to Taiwan." Rachael asks how the 2-year-old has been able to develop this skill. "We'll point to a country she doesn't know," says James, "and then we'll ask her where it is and she'll point to it. Then we'll ask her a couple more that she does know. Then we'll go back to the one she didn't know and she's got it -- takes 20 seconds!" And the rest is history! (Well, geography, really!)
When Rachael asks Lilly if she can find Hawaii on the map, not only does the little one find it, but Rachael tells her that she and her family will be taking a trip there courtesy of FunJet Vacations. Aloha!
