Puzzlers

Most of you know the John has a knack for puzzles. We started him out with the big wooden puzzles around 18 months, and it took him a while to catch on but he eventually did, and then around age 2 we introduced him to his first jigsaw puzzle, and after we did it with him a few times he figured it out on his own and there has been no stopping him. he'll sit down with a 60 some piece puzzle and put it together himself. We even just completed a 500 piece Toy Story puzzle as a family, a little to hard for my puzzle genius to do on his own, but we conquered it as a family!
I'm not exactly sure where John's love for puzzles comes from, I remember doing puzzles as a child but I can't say that it was something I could spend hours doing, and I definitely remember getting frustrated and giving up many times.
It must be in the family somewhere, because Audrey is just 16 months old and she is already getting the hang of the big wooden pieces she can tell you where they go, she just cant make them fit. So it looks like I have a couple of puzzle masters on my hand, and that's OK with me:) I would rather sit and watch them master puzzles instead of video games any day:)
