Cognitive kid

It rained last night. This morning we went outside to play for a little bit, while mommy was taking a shower. The Kid walked over to the slide, but it had water droplets all over it.

She folded her arms, said ''Hmmm'' while tapping the side of her mouth, and then declared -- with finger thrust into the air -- ''Towel!!!''

Interesting to observe the cognitive processes. I've wiped the slide off with a towel once, half a year or a year ago -- but she probably doesn't remember that. Rather, since she's observed towels in use for drying off after a bath, and for drying hands with, I think she generalized the use of towels to a broader ''drying off wet things -- including slides.''

Fascinating stuff! :)
