Puzzles

I love that Josh is so into puzzles right now.  He used to be one of our most temperamental and difficult children, but right now he is one of our easiest and most mellow.  When he gets home from school he starts working on his puzzles and will do it for hours!   When he has finished all of his puzzles he starts doing extra work and reading extra books in order to earn more tickets.  When he has ten tickets he gets a prize -- and what does he choose?  Another puzzle of course!   He is now up to 150 piece puzzles which he completes all by himself.  The puzzle he is working towards right now is a 250 piece puzzle.  His birthday is coming up next month and I know exactly what to get him!   (The Thomas the Train puzzle was his first puzzle and one that we had had around for awhile which is why it is missing a couple of pieces.  So far he has been good about keeping the pieces together on all of the rest of them!)
