today Jack has been making me laugh so hard! I gave him a bunch of nilla wafers this morning and his problem solving skills--related to the nilla wafers-- have been quite impressive! first, he took them out of the bag and put them in his train. The problem with the train is the high rollover rate. So, after picking up the wafers 4 or 5 times, he decided to find another venue. He found colby's little shopping cart and put the wafers in there. the problem here was the big gaps in the cart let all the wafers fall out as he walked! Next was the little toy helicopter with a hole in the top and open sides. the helicopter has a string that you use to pull it around. Now, amazingly enough he actually got them to stay in the helicopter in the first place. as he ran pulling the string, however, they flew out of the sides. It was so funny watching the frustration on his face turn to determination and finally victory as he decided that he wouldn't run with it anymore, so now jack, the helicopter and the nilla wafers are all sitting under the barstools in my dining room all in their proper spots with no nilla wafers on the ground!
