The Puzzle Master

Troy went with my wife to the store a few days ago, and while he was there, he just happened to find a wooden box of dinosaur puzzles. The box contained four 12-piece puzzles, each of a different dinosaur. And the moment he came in through the door, he couldn’t wait to show them to me. My wife took Troy’s clothes off, but instead of heading in for a bath, my buck naked son ran into the den and started pouring puzzles out onto his little table!

We have been putting those puzzles together every night since. At first, he wanted me to do it for him. Then, he wanted to be involved with me helping occasionally when he got stuck. Now, he will actually sit down and put the puzzles together by himself. When he completes one, he's so ecstatic, getting our attention to make sure that we see and acknowledge it before he puts it back into the box.
