A Major Achievement

So anyone who has ever met Cyrus for at least 5 minutes (especially in the last year) knows how "into" puzzles this boy is! He loves them! Although most of his puzzles consisted of 24-42 pieces, until now the largest puzzle he's completed was 64 pieces which took him longer than the normal 1-5minutes it usually takes... And mind you all of these puzzles are character-based be it Nickelodeon, Disney, or PBS.
Well, The other day, this past Saturday to be precise, in not so many words, he was determined that he's a big boy and he's grown tired of the same ol' quick meaningless puzzles... SOOOOOOO after 10 minutes or so, he's got his heart set on this 100 piece "I-Spy" castle puzzle... I have to admit Aaron and I were a bit skeptical about this, thinking only of the mess we were to pick up after he was to throw a fit & toss the puzzle off the table... 0.o Buuuut We said what the heck, the day he'll want to upgrade to a bigger puzzle is sure to come either way, Why not today.
So here we are 4 days later & only once did I have to pick up the pieces, and not off the floor either! Now I wont lie, there were a few times when he got frustrated... but *GASP* no throwing of any objects!!! My tantrum throwing little boy is growing up!! ^_^
ANYWAY
He did it! Cyrus has completed hs FIRST 100 PIECE puzzle all by himself! & We are all SOOOOOOO proud of him! ^_^ Check out his pics!
