The sibling's way

It is definitely interesting to see the different ways that Cole and Franny learn and approach their world.  I have tried to get Cole interested in one-piece puzzles, and while he is absolutely capable of doing them and will humor me for brief periods of time, he'd really rather do almost anything else.  He is, however, extremely intrigued with putting together and taking apart the train tracks, which seems to me to basically be a less colorful and less interesting type of puzzle.  Go figure.  Today, we sat and did this for close to twenty minutes.    If he wasn't continuously derailing his efforts, he'd have quite the railroad!   It will interesting to see what kind of tracks he's constructing in a few months; possibly, his mental plans and his physical skills just aren't in sync, yet!
