Determination

This is a story of determination and persistence.

It all started when a desired item (in this case a car) was at the bottom of the stairs, and a very determined child wanted it at the top of the stairs. The solution seemed simple enough, but as it was discovered, it was not so simple. 

So it required a little sit down to think the process through.


The biggest problem was the floppy wheels that kept getting stuck in between the stairs. 


Beside the stairs were some circular pieces of wood that to a three year old seemed to be a perfect solution and a makeshift ramp was created.


It seemed to work quite well


But this three year old discovered that gravity was a bigger problem than anticipated.


But a few good pushes worked quite well.


Almost there!


Sweet Success!!!


To the left of the photo above you can see an opportunist. A moment previous to this photo, the little brother seized the opportunity to hop in this little car while his big sister, who worked so hard, had gone to remove the wooden circles from the stairs. After a quick negotiation, it was sorted out, so the child that worked so hard was able to enjoy the fruits of her labour.
