Grandma Merlynn was here on New Year's Eve afternoon. She watched a movie with the kids, then I suggested we do a puzzle. Grandma likes to do puzzles, so she sat at the table with Blythe. It was delightful for me and Kent to watch Blythe helping Grandma. She was talking to Grandma exactly the same way I talk to her when we do puzzles. She was showing Grandma what she should be looking for, showing her where pieces go, and suggesting changes.
In this picture, they were working on a Very Hungry Caterpillar puzzle with food items around the outside. Blythe was saying, "Grandma, do you see this piece? The sausage goes above the ice cream cone. We need to find the sucker." She was undoing pieces Grandma was putting together wrongly, and stuck with it until the puzzle was finished. It was so nice to see Blythe being sweet and patient with Grandma. And it was funny to hear her parroting the exact things I say to her to Grandma.
