my DS (22mo) was walking up to me saying Aya (Asia), Strailia (Austrailia), Amecka (America) I looked at him and he had found one of this kids old ceiling planets, It was a little earth ball the size of his palm...he was bringing to me...made me wow that he knew what it was, and was recognizing tiny continents...

That's really cute! DD learned a few countries thanks to the world cup. We cheered for 3 teams and she would go nuts when she saw the flags or when she got to wear paraphernalia from that country.
