I found out today that Melissa has been my blog pal. I kind of had an inkling that she was (by the postmarks).

She was great and so encouraging. She sent me this puzzle for V. D and I put it together on the kitchen floor. D said, though, that it was "pretty easy." To which I explained, "yes it's easy for you because you're 6 but it will be a while before V can put it together - you'll have to teach her."
