After playing with Joshua the other day, Nathan commented on how he is gaining spatial awareness. What moments to watch! We've noticed that Joshua is interested in puzzles. It's part of his personality and what makes him unique. My mother commented the other day that if a door is open, Joshua wants it closed. It's true. He's fascinated with how doors fit into a frame. Tops fit on top of pots. Shapes fit through sorters. His cup fits in the cupholder in his high chair. Balls fit through wholes which lead them through tunnels. So on and so forth...a normal part of development and such a joy to observe.
Today we were sitting at the drawing table. I covered it with paper so he can color freely while sitting at the table. His crayons are in a small green tin bucket. I drew a circle on the paper. Joshua picked up the bucket and placed it into a circle. It was the first time that I've seen him make an association regarding shapes that was "unplanned." I never intended to make a puzzle.
This part of mommyhood is joyfully sweet!
