He struggled too but each day we would go back and he would try again. Yesterday, he surprised us both by climbing right up. I don't really even know why it was so easy for him. <br /><br />The really interesting thing is how we can tend to think young children have short attention spans and give up easily but this shows that when a child really wants to do something he has the determination, drive, attention span to get the job done!<br /><br />I love your observations - simply wonderful!Deborahhttp://www.teachpreschool.orgnoreply@blogger.com
