One task that has been on my list for J to learn how to do is tying her shoes. I have had it on my mind since the beginning of the year but I have continuously put it off. Well, no more. As a new year's resolution, I decided it was time for J to learn how to tie her shoes. I told her as such and she informed me that she wasn't old enough to learn that. I finally had the chance to teach her on a day that DS stayed home from school and watched the tot while we worked on school. No interruptions - the tot wasn't happy about not joining us but it was just what we needed to get this task done.
We watched several videos and tried to use the shoe practice card that I found this summer. But we soon found out that a regular sneaker was the best way to learn.
Finally "getting it." See that smile, she knows she finally got it. Go, J! (Please excuse the jammies, J asked for a jammie school day and how could I resist?)
