难怪有俚语说:"pieces come together ",用拼图游戏来表达"诸事顺利，达成完美结果"的意思呢.
jigsaw puzzles:the idea isTaking a picture and cut it into pieces!. An image is divided in tiles which are mixed up, the goal of the game is to shuffle the tiles into place to make the image appear:
child can get a great deal from jigsaw puzzles :
feels special as parents spend time with her
learns to talk and share her thoughts with parents
improves her hand to eye coordination
improves the way she logically picks her way around the jigsaw
recognizes shapes and colours
enjoys learning
becomes independent as she knows how to do the puzzle she loves to claim that she can do it “all by herself”
is increasingly confident。

睿每天有外教课，最近回家的时候就能给我讲几句。
昨天回来说的是“ ... as f s you can! ”
说实话他完全是模仿老师的原话，每个单词都是连读的，而且又没头没尾的，我真不能完全听明白还有点反应不过来，他就重复了好几遍，一边就乐的哈哈笑，
我就问他”是今天CRIS老师的新故事吗？”
他说“是。”
我问是讲有关什么的故事？
他说“Gingerbread Man ！”
说实话我还是没有听懂， “Gingerbread Man 是什么啊？”我都觉得脸在发烧。
“是小面人！”
他说着就忙着去玩别的了。
我能做的第一件事就是马上在电脑上查“小面人”这样意思的词。
呵呵，现在信息就是发达啊，在经过不断的推测搜寻之后终于找到了这个“Gingerbread Man ”，于是明白了那句“Run as fast as you can!”

睿刚看了第一集的故事：
记住了主人公：frog、bee、bug、dog、bear的拼写。
还有里面一首歌里的单词：“box&fox、house&mouse、jar&car"
他说，里面的音乐很好听啊，呵呵。
估计按这种快乐程度学完这24集，他的词汇量会长进不少啊。

那天问他一个问题，既然觉得英文比中文要简单，为什么还是愿意听中文版的？他说，因为中文的不管说的多快，都能听的懂，而英文的速度一快了，就跟不上了。。唔，GOOD ANSWER!这确实是判断英文好不好的标准，就是无论语速和口音，只要你张开，我就都能听明白，而其实要做到这一点，不难，就是一个“熟悉”。
就好比昨天，他在画画，我找出另一个男童版本的《if you give a mouse a muffin 》，他一听就乐了，“mamma，不就是前几天听一个小女孩讲的《if you give a mouse a cookie》那个故事嘛，只不过把cookie换成了 muffin！”
