For a couple of weeks now, Jillian has been really into puzzles.
She has been doing a puzzle in the kitchen with me every night. She makes all these little clusters – not working in any way that makes sense to me. Then she can’t get them all to go together to form the 1 big puzzle. So we help her.
Until tonight. She worked all by herself on this puzzle. I did not help her at all. I encouraged her to figure it out and she kept at it.
Here she is with her completed puzzle.
She was so proud of herself and I was proud too!
She has with her in each picture her “purse”. She ran to get it before she would let me take pictures of her. She said “to make me look cuter.” 
“to make me look cuter” — boy are we in trouble…
