Problem Solver = Problem Maker

Lola impresses me with her problem solving skills.  Yesterday, she was putting thin objects through a small slit.  I turned the container so that the slit was facing a different direction, because I was curious how she would manipulate her hand to put the object in appropriately.  Lola's response:  Grab the container and turn it until the slit faced the way she wanted.  Impressive!

This morning, Lola was reaching and reaching for sunscreen on a table.  She couldn't reach it, so she did the next best thing.  She grabbed the magazines that the sunscreen was sitting on, pulled them toward her, and then grabbed the sunscreen.  Then she shoved the magazines back into their appropriate spot. 

"Lola's a good problem solver!" our Parents as Teachers person remarked after seeing her yesterday.  My response:  "Lola's a good problem maker too!"
