YIIPPEEE!!!!!

We had success!!!! Garrett finally tied his shoes. He did have trouble doing the double loops so we just stuck with the other method. Doug stopped helping since he is left handed we were afraid that was confusing him too. The last two nights I sat down with him and we practiced for about 15 minutes. Tonight he finally got the hang of it. He now earned the new Scooby Doo movie that we have been bribing him with since September. Hopefully he will tie them without a fight for school tomorrow then I will go buy the movie.

Wooo hooo! Now I guess that's peer pressure for Haleigh to learn to tie hers too!

SUPER! That is a milestone!
kedric has been working on this for sometime but with velcro shoes it takes the pressure off! I think we need to work on it again so it sticks!

Congrats.. and how funny.. Sweet Pea just mastered the art of shoe tieing this week also. Now if I could only get the 8 year old to figure it out LOL.. He tries but it's not very well. poor guy.. but then he hasn't had a pair of tie shoes since Kindergarten so maybe this is my fault(oopes I guess his sport shoes, cleats, basketball shoes and such are ties but not his every day wear shoes)
So did you get tickets to the Play?? I'm going on the 15th.
