This puzzle moves - and almost moved me to tears. It's a magic motion puzzle - only 100 pieces, so for this morning's Mommy and Dahlia playtime, I thought this one would be a piece of cake. We've worked on 500 pieces before - Dahlia is quite a whiz with puzzles, Mommy just limps along in her shadow.So, after breakfast today we did 2 easy ones and then chose this new one to finish off. Looks easy, no? Nuh-uh. Check the picture above. There are 2 images - you can see the 2 quite distinctly below.
It took every bit of resolve to keep at it and the only reason I did was because Dahlia so wanted to quit. She was watching me and fidgeting and so not into it because, have I mentioned this before, it was really, really hard. And it's marked 5+ on the box. Dahlia is 6 and I'm + :) So we plugged on, and it occured to me more than once that this puzzle may sit on the table, unfinished, forever but we kept at it. Once it was about 2/3's done, Dahlia picked up some interest and the challenge was on.
And....................
...............voila! Done, fini, over.Whew!
(anybody want a puzzle........really cheap.......in fact, free.

Umm.....actually, I'll pay you.)
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

Well done for keeping on and helping her through the puzzle. Sometimes when J gets stuck, he doesn't want to continue, but lately, he's been chanting softly to himself, "I know I can do it, I know I can do it..." and then when he finally gets it, he's so proud of himself. :)
You are a hoot!!!!! Free:))) hehe
