The baseball puzzle...

He did it! He did it! He did it, did it, did it!!!!

This morning, at 8:06am, Bennett finished his first 500-piece puzzle, with help on only about 10 pieces from me... honestly! He has been working on it for about 2 1/2 months, ever since Uncle Junkie came up for Memorial Day weekend and brought his old baseball puzzle for them to work on. Bennett promised Freddy that when he finished it, we'd take a picture of it and send it to him. There have been a few setbacks, such as friends and siblings destroying what he had done so far, but today was the day!!! If you didn't know, puzzles are Bennett's favorite things in the whole world. He does 100- and 200-piecers pretty quickly, but the 500-piecer from Junkie looked "too hard", according to Bennett. But challenges are what he thrives on, so he sat down and started working. We're so proud of him--it's a pretty great accomplishment, in our estimation! And it gives us a chance to praise him to the skies, which we probably don't do enough of. So feel free to call Bennett and tell him what a great job he did :o)
