Puzzle Fiend

Luke's latest passion is puzzles. Joshua didn't really get into puzzles until he was like 3 1/2, but Luke is totally into them right now. If there is a lull in anything, he runs to the cabinet to get out a puzzle and work on it. We have several big floor puzzles that he likes to help with, though he can't do those on his own yet. His specialty is about 25 pieces, and his favorite is a Little Einsteins puzzle that we have. He's been branching out to several other 25 piece puzzles we have though. He cannot be distracted when he is doing one either. Like the end of the world will come if he can't finish the puzzle he's working on. And he doesn't want anyone else to put the pieces together. He also will work on several different puzzles at one time. He's so funny because he will have a piece that he's trying to figure out, so he'll ask us where does it go. But he really doesn't want us to help him because he goes ballistic if we try to put a piece together for him. I think he just wants the company while he does the puzzle himself. I'm actually quite impressed at how much he can do as a 2 year old.


Joshua has really been enjoying building log cabins with the Lincoln Logs we bought them for Christmas. Luke can't really do it yet, so he's not so interested. Recently we also inherited a Little House on the Prairie kids book that the boys really like. So because of that book, I think, Joshua thinks building log cabins is really cool. Both Joshua and Luke now know where Wisconsin is because of that book. They're totally stoked about Wisconsin. So funny.
