Bailey's a genius, further proof


So back in February I was playing with Bailey and trying to help her to figure out her shape sorter. Standard issue, plastic bucket with a lid that has cut outs for different shapes. Anyway, I demonstrated for her how to locate the appropriate space for the different blocks. I then gave her the block to take a turn. She reached right down and pulled the lid off the box and threw the block inside. My first instinct was to try to correct her and model the appropriate way to use the toy but I realized that the objective is to get the block in the bucket which she did. She saw her way around the problem. I was so proud of her.
