When Eden naps and Ryder wakes up early, we like to do things that involve building with tiny legos, or making race tracks for his cars with blocks, play a game like memory, or build puzzles. He gets very focused and sometimes little sisters can derail the PERFECT set up that you had been working so hard on, or they walk off with the LAST puzzle piece or they decide that the reason to play memory is to see ALL the pictures at the same time and that putting them face down is just plain silly. He is so patient with her, but because she wants to do EVERYTHING he does, some projects are better when she is sleeping. Ahh, siblings...
So the other day we pulled out puzzles per Ryder's request:
He loves how after a few pieces he can see a huge part of the picture...
I love watching him be focused and determined on finishing...
We did two and decided that we had to do just one more...
He was so proud of our accomplishment that we had to take pictures to send to Kit at work.
Every minute that I get to spend with this little man is such a gift. His main love language is quality time and physical touch, so most of the puzzle time is while he is RIGHT next to me or in my lap and I just can't get enough of the little guy... It's afternoons like this with him that just bring me such joy!♥
