Getting there the hard way

February 26, 2010 by J.B.

Jamie is the type of person that really enjoys using all of her abilities, both mental and physical. She loves a challenge. If something is too easy, she’ll find a more difficult way of doing it, just for fun.

Sometimes she gets this look in her eyes and you know she’s up to something. You can almost follow her thought process as she looks around and figures out what tools she’s going to need to get the job done, or what series of moves she going to need to do to accomplish her goal.

Here’s a brief example. Jamie wants to move about four feet over to say hello to Denice. And how does she get there?

    I love that little “come here” crook of her finger at the end.

    P.S. I think this post should be renamed “Getting there the CREATIVE WAY.” 🙂

    And Jamie probably thinks it should be renamed “Getting there the FUN way.” 🙂

    Jamie is quite ingenious, I would say. She is definitely a problem solver with a flair!
