The Missing Piece


I went downstairs the other day to find Todd and Allyson putting together a puzzle. It was cute to see a big daddy on the floor playing with his daughter, but that was not the best part. As I got closer, Allyson started telling me about how there was a piece missing so daddy made a new one! Who does that? He said that as he was making it, Allyson said "Daddy, you are a good artist, I am a scribble artist." She saved the homemade piece for last and called it the "masterpiece." I would have never even thought to MAKE a new piece. I generally just say, oh bummer a piece is missing. What a nice daddy!

I love it! This is a classic Toddy-Daddy story. He's a real thinker.

I love it. The kid looks a little funny, but that makes it even better. She needs to keep that puzzle forever.
