Just before Christmas, Tess pulled out one of Grace's 100-piece puzzles and started working on it. She asked for my help, but did a lot of it by herself. I found it astonishing that she had the patience to diligently work at such a complex task, but then again, it sort of fits with her personality. As luck would have it, she received several puzzles for Christmas, so the puzzle fascination continues. (Note in these photos that she is doing it upside down.) One day last week, she did her monkey puzzle six (!!) times — 3 times at homes and 3 times at the coffee shop while I chatted with a friend. Thank goodness for the puzzle obsession.
