Puzzled.

Nah, we're not confused.  A.'s just really into puzzles these days.  And I mean really into puzzles.  She's even taken it upon herself to applaud when she's finished one. So much for modesty.

Just tonight, I asked her if she wanted to show M. her new puzzle.  Well, apparently, in addition to learning how to use puzzles, A. has also learned the art of stalling.  It was moments before her bedtime and she took . . . her . . . time . . . removing the puzzle pieces (which she placed clear across the ottoman, nowhere close to the puzzle), staring at the pieces, and . . . FINALLY . . . using the pieces.
