Solving Bigger Puzzles

We all like puzzles in our household, and I recently found a "family puzzle," which is a 400 piece puzzle with regular-sized puzzle pieces and larger-than-normal pieces. I figured that Dave and I would enjoy it now and that in a few years Alex could do it with us too. Well, Alex saw the box, wanted to know what it was, and decided to dive right in. He liked sorting the edges from the rest of the pieces and did a great job helping us put together the outside of the puzzle. Now, every night before dinner we work on the puzzle a bit. Alex has taken to it really quickly and has amazed us with how well he can find and place pieces.
