Puzzles

I love watching John's little mind at work. He has always been a fan of the big wooden puzzles, but up until a couple of weeks ago I hadn't really challenged him with jigsaw puzzles. We had one that's not to difficult, but being as he hadn't done them , I thought it would be something we could work on together while Audrey was napping one morning. Well to my surprise after helping him put in back together one time, John quickly picked up on the concept and wanted to do it himself. I was in awe as I watched his little mind study the pieces and place one by one into the puzzle until it was complete. John was so taken with the puzzle that we bought a few more, a little more challenging and he mastered those just as quickly.He amazes me more all the time! A little smarty pants just like his daddy:) Just in the last week we bought a couple of more puzzles even more challenging. One a big floor puzzle of Thomas the train this one did challenge him a bit, it took him a whole week to master it!

And then daddy just found a set of 3 toy story puzzles each one a little more difficult, but he again mastered the first one on the first day, and puzzles 2 and 3 still give him a bit of a challenge but I don't expect it to be long before he has them down too.
