Today while folding laundry with the children I handed a stack of napkins to a not quite three year old.
"Here I, you know where these go!" Big smile of encouragment.
"Where?" (with that adorable lisp of course!)
"In the hutch."
"But I can't open it."
"Sure you can, I've seen you. Just pull hard."
"I can't open it with something in my hands." (well, that IS very true)
"You can set them on the snack table, open the door and then put them away."
She looked contemplatively at the napkins in her hand then marched off. Only in preschool can the problems be so novel and yet so easily solved!
