Hammie Chronicles 002 - 07.17.12


Hammie: Mama look!

I was tapping away on the laptop and looked over to where Hammie was doing a 96-piece puzzle given by his Ninang Erika.  He was starting to form Lightning McQueen’s eyes and the surrounding pieces. 

Me: Wow, kuya very good. 
Hammie: By myself.

After a few minutes he called me again to show me his progress.  Then after some time he completed it.

Hammie: Mama, see?
Me: Amazing Kuya! You are really good with puzzles.
Hammie: By myself, Mama!
Me: Yes, Kuya! Let mama take a picture of you!


I got the camera and took a shot of him holding the puzzle and also took a picture of the puzzle.  He looked at the shots smiling and said, ‘thank you, Mama!’ to which I replied, ‘you’re welcome, Kuya!’

He received it last Sunday and already today, Tuesday he was able to finish the puzzle on his own.  At four years old, I am truly amazed at his ability to finish such puzzles.  To think that the puzzle was dominated with the red color, I did not expect him to be able to figure it out by himself as early as this.  I wonder how to expand his analytical skills and not just concentrate on puzzles.  Any suggestions?
