If you haven't already seen this, then you probably need to watch it:

It just gets better and better.

Undoubtedly there will be detractors who scorn the parents and say: "Oh look, they have a pet kid they turned into a freakshow attraction!" but I think it's fairly evident that Lily is enjoying herself and thinks the whole thing is an enormous game. She keeps going back for more, even when her parents want to wrap it up.

It's quite amazing, isn't it?

A couple of years ago, a graphics designer joined the team I was involved in, he asked me if I can help him locate North America on the map. I can sympathize with somebody asking me where the small countries or the islands were, but it is hard to not be able to locate a whole continient on the map.

Lily is quite ahead of many adults in this world. To my disappointment she was able to locate two countries that I wouldn't point out that quick.
