I Love Puzzles!

Puzzles are probably one of the best (and cheapest) toys for kids.  As children, Mommy, Uncle Dedo and Aunt Ellie played with lots of puzzles and Legos in their time.  Mommy strongly believes that this is the key to developing “spacial relations” which is something that cannot be taught in traditional academics. 

Here I am playing with my first two puzzle sets.  One is a Melissa & Doug pegged puzzled with different numbers and shapes.  The other is a Melissa & Doug animal puzzle.  I think Mommy introduced me to the sets pretty early, about 12 or so months.

Walking Bossie

Chore #5.

I’ve tried many, many times to walk Bossie, but have always ran into hurdles. First, the handle of the leash would be too big for me to hold. Then, I couldn’t hold the handle for a long time because it was too heavy for my little hands. Then, I didn’t understand that I had walk in order for Bossie to follow me. Then, I didn’t realize that I had to walk straight rather than in circles.

This Sunday, I finally mastered the art of walking Bossie. See me in action:

I walked all the way down the Sandburg Street hill to Aunt Jo’s house and then walked all the way home. I even started to huff and puff walking uphill. It was quite a work-out.
