Awhile ago Cat picked out a puzzle for Dax. It's a numbers puzzle. The pieces are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9. I didn't think Dax would like it.
He has other puzzles that he really likes a lot. One of them has pieces shaped like cars and trucks and they fit into spaces that have pictures of the same cars and trucks. So you just have to match up the pictures.
The numbers puzzle just has the pieces and spaces shaped like the numbers. There are pictures inside the spaces but they aren't of the number. For example, the number 1 has a picture of a spider. One spider. But still, it's a spider and not a number. So, yeah. I just didn't see this one working out. Not for awhile.
I was wrong.
Not only does he love this puzzle, he's also learned his numbers. He can identify them all. Sometimes he has trouble with 7. Sometimes he calls it "clock". I have no idea why.
Now we're off to entertain ourselves until Dax's Nanna gets here. She flies in today and should be landing at around 5:30. Stay tuned for many pictures.
