When Megan isn't running me ragged with her usual hijinks of dress-up clothes, using her play kitchen, or reading books, she is badgering me to do puzzles. All kinds of puzzles. Her fairy puzzles, the Charlie and Lola book with puzzles inside of it, the simple alphabet and numbers puzzles from earlier this year, but primarily she loves to do her "Very Hungry Caterpillar" puzzle.
After numerous times doing it together she's basically memorized how the puzzle works. I've tried to teach her about finding the edge pieces first and creating the frame of the puzzle but she doesn't seem to understand that. Instead she knows the fruit go on the bottom and so she grabs those pieces first, and then puts the caterpillar's face together and works from there. In her own right, it's a fairly interesting way to solve the puzzle, just not the usual methodology of puzzle solving.
Just another instance of her showing me she will choose to do things her own way I suppose.
