Ian's 1st crossword puzzle

After BSF on Mon, Ian decided he doesn't need a nap and he went ard the house looking for stuff to occupy his time and he dug this activity bag he got when we last came back from Perth on the Qantas flight....for some time already he has been bugging mama to play the crossword puzzle in the iphone and he can't quite spot the words and he would bug mama to find the words and then he would then do the puzzle.

Today, he decided to do this Elmo puzzle and he was bugging mama to find the words and after looking for 3 words, mama decided to ask him to look for his own and seeing how intently he was looking for them, he was really SURPRISED when he found the 1st word.....mama saw his eyes went tracking ard the puzzle and each time he found a word, his eyes just sparkled with the words 'I did it!!!' and out of 10 words, he found 7 of them and it was truly a GREAT achievement for a boy who always love doing puzzles but never thot he could do it on his own and now he's bugging mama to get more...wonder if there are such resources for kids which has bigger prints and easier puzzles....wonder if it runs in the genes coz the puzzles are mama's fav and daddy is quite gd at Sudoku hahahaa wonder when he could do Sudoku that is the ultimate! Just a surprise out of an ordinary afternoon spent together
