He finally did it!!

Tying Shoes
By Sharon MacDonald

My fingers don't know how
To weave two strings about.
There must be some magic
To make a bow come out.
Everyone has shown me where
The skinny strings should go.
In a week or two, I'll learn to tie
But for now - I'll use Velcro.

No more using velcro for my little boy!! Wooohooo! This one was on the very top of our list of things to learn to do this summer and we kept going back to it. It took ME about 3 times trying with him before I had daddy give it a go and what do you know...less than half an hour later, he had it. He started tying all the shoes in the shoe closet, seeing if it would be harder with a longer string or a shorter one...he was on a mission! We are so proud and so is he! That smile on his face when he realized he had it was absolutely priceless! Way to go Evan, mommy is sooooo happy for you sweetie!!
