Tao can do them now.  Proper jigsaw puzzles, not the usual kiddie kind of match the cutout piece to the shape on the board.  So they're only 6 piece, but on the Bob the Builder website they not only click and lock into place when you put them with other right pieces, you can also rotate them and you don't always start with them the right way up.

I have no idea when he learned how to do them.  He couldn't do them two days ago.  I was meant to show him but was in the middle of something when he asked, so I said "If that's a bit too hard right now go and do something else and come back to it later."  And by the time I got to a stage where I could help him properly he'd moved on to something else.

So.  Yeah.  I'm slightly shocked.  And pleased obviously :P

Copy-pasted from AB coz I'm lazy.

Very slightly creeped out by Tao

An artist on Art is Murder submitted this image a day or so ago (I've lost track).  Tao spotted it and proclaimed it a "big tarp wemus!" I got the big and sharp and asked him to repeat the last word a few times.  He kept repeating the sentence.  So I said, "A big sharp remus?"

"Yes!" he says in his cute matter of fact voice.

"What's a remus?"

"Dat!" while pointing to the artwork in question.

Both of them.

Ruan, not so bad aside from a bad habit of leaking all over the place.

Tao, well. As well as the runs, the cyst on his eye is infected and he's getting a double whack for it, both an eye cream and oral antibiotics. He has a rash on his chest and is listless and lethargic.

Yesterday the house was covered in bicarb. I vacuumed it up only a couple of places hadn't completely finished soaking and drying. Eww.

I need some heavy duty carpet cleaner. Less carpet would be wonderful too.

On the upside, Tao seems to have cottoned on to this toilet training thing, and awesome timing.

Appointment with specialist tomorrow to get the cyst removed.

I suck at blogging.

You can learn a lot from doing not much. As most people know, I do 3d. I seem to know bits of geometry, crap I never would have picked up at school, mainly coz it was in the higher level maths class and I suck at maths.

Currently I'm learning a little bit about Russian history (there's a doco on sometime in the next fortnight that might be helpful) and researching titanium alloys. Why? Roleplaying :P

Who says you need to go to school to get an education.
