the puzzle tower


I watched as Dennis painstakingly stacked all his puzzles on the table (still in their boxes, thank goodness) and counted them (14!). It was a very tall tower and he had to climb up on his chair to get the top ones on. He was very proud of his puzzle and stared at it for a while. Then he put a firefighter on top of the tower, lying face down and 'looking' down. He made him call for help on the radio and then the other firemen arrived in the fire truck and extended a ladder up to rescue him. When the ladder wasn't tall enough, Dennis said "don't worry, you can jump, we will catch you in the net" and then had the other firemen hold the trampoline while he pretended to make the stranded guy jump. I just sat back and enjoyed the show. When David got home and saw the stack, he asked me if Dennis had done it all by himself. He was impressed.
