A Puzzlement

Alison is starting to figure out how her wooden puzzles work. In the past she'd just load the pieces into her bag and go prancing, but now she actually can match the pieces to their spots on the board (even if the actual fitting-in is still a bit dicey) and she knows which pieces belong on which boards (she has two: the deep-sea animals one and the land-based animals one that Randy and Ashley bought her).

She's a sorter. I've started putting her small toys into separate bins (rather than throwing them all together into random bins) and she knows where the appropriate items go. For example, Navada's magnetic train set goes into a small basket, whereas her Peek-A-Blocks go into a metal bin-- she will sit there on the floor and put the train cars in the basket and the blocks into the bin. For fun.

My God, I believe I have given birth to an accountant. (Grampa will be proud!)
