I took DS 2.5 to register for preschool yesterday. During the tour the director was showing us the puzzle area. The hardest puzzles in the early classroom were 8 pieces! I asked if they had harder puzzles and she said they had 12 and 24 piece puzzles in the older classrooms. I explained that he could do 48+ piece puzzles and she pretty quiet for a moment and then said that she would make sure they got some for him for when he starts in the fall. So nice to have an accomodation made without making a big deal about it.

That got me to thinking about how rare it is for toddlers to do advanced puzzles. Both of the my kids were good at puzzles and I really never thought too much about it. Is it that rare?
