I'm sure every parent says this... but my kids are brilliant! I'm not kidding - they really are smarter than I would expect a normal 20 month old to be. Owen was lining up the puzzle boards (with no pieces in them) so I started handing him pieces at random. He would look at it and know which board to put it in, then get the exact spot every time. Once, I handed him two dinosaur pieces in a row, then the tail to the fish colors puzzle. He looked at the fish tail, went to put it in the dino puzzle, said 'no' and then put it into the fish puzzle, matching it to the right color and everything! He did four puzzles simultaneously and only mixed up the brown and orange fish tails (they are really close in color). I'm telling you, I have little smartie pants on my hands!
