LLR, Ah- the old eight-pointed fluted star!! I know what toy you're talking about, though I was never clever enough to name the shapes. (Here- this weird one. This pointy one, this sorta square one) Helen sounds so much like CW. AMmo hated anything like that- hated puzzles, or sitting. He was our climber, runner, mover. But CW would sit and work on jigsaw puzzles for long periods. Have you gotten her some of those wooden puzzles? We had a beautiful one with numbers on one side and graphic depictions like three birds on the other side. There are also -I think we got these between two and three years- a set of wooden block shapes that make designs that CW loved. A developmental teacher told us this ability correlated with IQ testing ability. For what THAT was worth. I LOVED the educational toy stores- and teachers' stores. A good physical game for a rainy day is to make the shapes out of construction paper and place them on the floor like stepping stones and call out "Red triangle!" and "Purple oval!" and she can jump from one to the other. Hearing about Helen makes me want to be there again...tell us more.
