These days Carter has really enjoyed putting together his ABC Animal Train floor puzzle that he got for his birthday this year. He will spend a whole hour working on it. He can complete the puzzle all by himself and does a really good job at it. It is the best puzzle ever for three reasons. 1. It makes him sit for a long period of time and really "focus" and is great for his small motor skills. 2. He is learning letter recognition, animal recognition and reciting the alphabet now. 3. He gets super excited when he makes pieces of the puzzle fit together and feels really "proud" of himself. He definitely gets a sense of accomplishment when he completes the puzzle and little brother Gavin and I cheer him on! It is a "calm" activity that I can do (or shall I say "juggle") with both boys. Come to think of it.....puzzles maybe mommy's favorite thing to do these days too!
