Problem Solving

Today she is 14 months old, and she is busy learning and growing. Caterpillar Girl loves to solve problems. It is amazing to see how she figures out what needs to be done. At gymnastics, she was holding a ball in two hands but she also wanted to go up the steps to the trampoline. For a few seconds, she stood at the foot of the steps contemplating how she could climb them while still holding the ball. Then she determined she would have to put the ball down. She put the ball on a step that she could reach, climbed up, and then moved the ball higher. She had some trouble keeping the ball from rolling off as she came up but after a few times she reached the trampoline, picked her ball back up, and ran joyfully along.
