My big girl hit another milestone this past week. She learned to tie her own shoes.
She practiced and practiced with one pair of shoes.
She decided that laces were a bit to short so she moved on to another pair of shoes.
Success!!
Those laces were a bit too long causing them to touch the floor even after being tied and ended up causing a bout of tearful frustration because they weren't "perfect". I think my girl has gotten used to things coming to her pretty easily. It's been a challenge trying to teach her to cut herself just a little bit of slack sometimes.
Eventually she rallied and has been demonstrating her new-found shoe-lace tying skills to friends and family. I am so proud of my girl and I'm happy that she got this skill down before starting school next month...for her teacher's sake if nothing else =).

love the moment when they learn how to tie shoes. I need to buy my 6 year old a pair of shoes with laces, so that he can learn.
Good girl!!!!!!
