jack’s logic

at ten months of age jack has plenty of toys to stimulate his little brain. toys that make noise (thanks nona), toys that jack has found a way to make noise with them, toys that are books (when he starts reading then they’ll be just books), toys that are soft and cute, toys that are soft and menacing (thanks ken for the alien), and toys that require jack to think, which brings me to the subject of this entry. amongst jack’s toys there is this little yellow container filled with plastics blocks of different shapes. circle, square, triangle, and star. the lid to this container has holes that match the shapes of the blocks. it’s suppose to teach kids about shapes by putting the blocks into the container through the shape holes. jack has a different approach. at first he attempts to put the blocks through the holes. when that doesn’t work jack’s solution is to remove the lid, put the blocks in the container, and put the lid back on the container. there’s more than one solution to a problem.
