Christmas isn’t complete until our friend Dawn visits. She always brings such nice and thoughtful gifts. Last year, she started us off on GeoTrax train sets, and that collection has grown into an obsession. This year, she took it up a level by giving the boys a Thomas the Train jigsaw puzzle. It isn’t a baby puzzle, nor does it have a 1,000 pieces. This age appropriate gift will help the boys advance their jigsaw puzzle skills by presenting a topic they are enthusiastic about. Puzzles like these develop several brain functions at once, most notably the abilities to reason, deduce, analyze, sequence, and develop logical thought and problem solving skills. She also gave them a Veggie Tales DVD. Veggie Tales are animated films featuring talking vegetables teaching morality through fun stories. Gifts like these are life changing.
