My little daughter never ceases to amaze me. We exchanged gifts early with Heather this year since she can't get time off work to be down for Christmas. One of her presents to Becky was a 48 piece floor puzzle with an ocean scene as the picture. Becky was so excited about it that we had to put it together the next morning. We have put it together a number of times since then and she has gotten better and better at getting sections of it done herself. Last night, she wanted to put it together again so, we opened it and set in on the floor for her. I intentionally kept as busy as I could but would come in and check on her every now and then to encourage her and see how far she had gotten on her own. And, after about an hour and a half she came in yelling, "I did it! I did it!" So, I went and looked and, indeed, she had completed the entire puzzle by herself. We were very proud of her. It amazed me that a two year old could put together a puzzle of that size! She's a smartie!
