[blparent] toddler development question

[Kliph]

It's normal, just don't try and force it on her.  If you leave it where the
rest of her toys are, or where she can find it, she will play with it on her
own time.  My 2 year old is the same way, if it's not my lap top, or her
mom's blackberry, then she doesn't want anything to do with it.  Although
she got a doll for Christmas that giggles all the time, and she seems to
like that.  But trust me, this behavior is normal.

Hi group.  I hope you all had a good Christmas.  
I had a question about toddler development.  My 17 month old got some
puzzles for Christmas.  They are for children who are a year and a half old.
They are the ones with the big pieces so they're easy to handle for her.  So
far, Mackenzie has always been pretty advanced for her age, she learns
pretty quickly.  However, I tried to interest her in putting together a
puzzle, and she didn't seem interested.  I took one piece out, and asked her
to put it back, and she either tried to make the piece fit and couldn't, or
she just wasn't interested.  
She isn't really interested in her shape sorter either.  I think she has
mastered the circle, but she doesn't want to play with the other shapes.  Is
this developmentally appropriate for her age? How can I get her interested
in these concepts and toys? Mackenzie likes to climb and run, and she loves
her musical toys, but honestly, other than that, she isn't really interested
in toys.  She would rather play with a cell phone or my computer.  Thanks
for any advice you have, and I hope all of you have a happy new year.  
    Nikki
