problem solving

This morning, Kenny solved a two-part problem.

At the daycare, I gave him his towel to place on its hook. He toddled over to the row of hooks, but discovered that another child had put a towel on his hook! Giving it a moment's thought, he reached up and put the mis-placed towel on another hook, then put his own away.

No fuss, no drama, just got on with it.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, caught and killed a large predator that supposedly injured some bathers. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time.
