Puzzles...

She loves them. We have now graduated to 25 piece puzzles. She can even do the one from Uncle Greg with the animal shaped pieces once she had done it a few times. Occasionally she asks for help if she gets frustrated, so she likes if someone sits with her while she does it, but she can do the entire thing by herself. She understands the concepts of edge pieces and looking at the picture on the box. She is so squirmy that she often kneels on the puzzle and has to put it back together. When she is a little bit crazy she gets her pretend vaccuum to bust it up when it's all done. I know it was just Christmas, but the puzzles at Zellers were $1.60 and I want to get more.

We even have a beautiful floor puzzle from Pottery Barn Kids from Auntie Amanda that is a bit tricky. It requires help, but it is nice for downstairs on the hardwood floor as a project to do together.
