puzzles..
Claire loves puzzles... she has a selection of them and spends a great dela of time doing and redoing them.. this week Sabine gave her a jigsaw (most of the ones we have are kind of like match the picture, or make a picture out of seven oddly shaped bits..) awell this is a 20 piece deluxe puzzle.. it has real bits and holes.. I wonder if those prong on the puzzle actually have names.. well to the point... She loves it.. adn can spend more than 20 minutes doing and redoing the puzzle.. she has now memorised the picture and so when she is presented iwth a middle piece and has yet to start on the sides, she carefully places it into the spot in which it belong and then takes the next peice.. its amazing..
I purchased her another on on the aquarium excursion yesterday.. she chose an octopus picture.. she has done it numerous times.. this one seems a little more difficult as there is a lot of background that can be similar. but she just perseveres and eventually gets it done..
Felicity is now able to stand up at all the little tables and pull off the puzzle pieces.. it is driving Claire crazy... she will just have to move to higher ground..
