On a whim I thought I would try a jigsaw puzzle with Sarah. We found a cute Dora puzzle with 24 pieces and Sarah was so excited. Of course she was only so excited about a box with Dora on it…she had no clue the disaster waiting inside of it.
After lunch we sat down and I showed her all about matching colors and straight edges and “see it makes a picture!”. She looked at it, tried it a little, and quickly proclaimed “I done”. While it looked like she didn’t have much interest in it, I knew Sarah better than that. Her personality is to watch, touch a little, try very little, then think about it a lot!!, and finally attempt it with much success. So every once and a while she’d ask to play with the puzzle and she’d try, almost as if she thought of something last night and needed to try it out today. Usually, she’d ask for help, but Glen or I would end up really putting it together. But after about 4 days of this, she was determined to do it on her own…and she did!!!! This picture is from 4/27, the first morning she did it by herself. Now, it doesn’t take her long at all to put it together! She loves her Dora puzzle!!
