Ever since the weekend we did all those puzzles on the kitchen floor, Nicholas has been wild about puzzles. He pulls them out just about every single night and wants to put more together. At first he got discouraged, but it's like it clicked overnight with him. He is doing fantastic putting the pieces together and he's very patient doing it as long as Nathan isn't there. It comes so easy for Nathan so he likes to help Nicholas. We decided we needed more puzzles so Chris got a new dinosaur one with big pieces, you can see it in the background in the photo above. Then he also got a set of 8 Disney puzzles, but they are the small pieces. Surprisingly they both did really good with them. There is one puzzle with 500 pieces that we'll all work on this weekend. I think that one will take a long time! It's wonderful to see Nicholas sitting still for a good amount of time and concentrating on a project and seeing it through to the end. He has really calmed down in the past month or so. He is still full of energy, but he's not as challenging.

That's so great that the boys are into puzzles - hours of entertainment and great for spatial recognition and cognitive function!
I can't wait until Kiera gets into them too. I guess it is time to introduce her, perhaps this summer with the boys! Won't that be great?
