Recently, Henry has turned a corner with figuring things out with his toys. I know it's a little early to make assumptions, but he seems like he is going to be a puzzler like Kinsey. He spends quite a bit of his play time trying to figure out how to put things like they are supposed to be, including the bucket shape sorter, the piano with animal shape sorters, the top to the cookie jar sorter, and the stacking rings.
The wooden stacking rings are a favorite because he can now put the rings back on the stick. I'm surprised he was able to do this already because the wooden stacking rings have a much smaller hole in the center. He also enjoys tossing the wooden rings backwards over his head so that they loudly clank on the wooden floor and spin like tops, over and over and over.
The bucket shape sorter causes a lot of frustration because he wants to take the top off and on, off and on, off and on, but sometimes he cannot get it back on, which brings about screaming. On occasion, I have had to remove this toy from play because I just cannot handle the screaming.
Mary Catherine still loves books the best, and stealing whatever Henry is playing with at any given time.
