puzzle update

Rory came down yesterday and told me he was all out of clean clothes. And I looked at him and said, "well clearly I've been a little busy..." and motioned towards the puzzle table.

I have never ever been a puzzle person. I've never had the patience. But this one is changing all that. Ivar is still super helpful. Most of the time when I find a piece that is a fit I just hand it to him and he can figure out where it goes. He looks on the box and then finds that part of the puzzle. It's been really fun for us to work together and fun to talk about all the states in our country and who we know who lives there.

And for added challenge, we often have trains and kitties crowding us on the table. It's hard to see all the pieces when there are stuffed animals set on top of them, but it makes it all the more rewarding when I do find that missing piece, somewhere in the carpet below.

It's quiet playtime now, which means I can work on the puzzle a bit by myself. Got to go!
