My daughter tied her shoes!

Alright, not a big historical moment, but I was proud.

She's 4, y'know (well, almost 5). We'd been working on it periodically lately, and I've gone over it with her, and she's attempted but never gotten close. Then, this morning (Tues.), she busts up with this:

"Mom, I forgot to tell you yesterday, but at lunch I tied my shoes by myself."



"Let me show you," she says. And, ba-boom, she tied 'em.

She said, "I thought, 'I know I can do it if I just do it like Daddy told me'." Now, y'all, that almost made me cry.

It's the little things that make you so cotton-pickin' proud of your kids!!!

We were surprised last year that it is required to tie shoes in IN for Kindergarten students, in Ohio it was not. Now back in the day it was...

Ha! Enjoy it.....when she is a couple of years older you are going to catch yourself going, "Tie your shoes...you're gonna break your neck."

Yep, today they tie them......in just far too soon, she will have to have a closet just for her shoes....and most of them won't have strings ......but they will be cool and the latest style and "my best friend has some so I HAVE to have them"......

Boy ........enjoy this moment.....those are great!

I know you are proud and you have every right to be.

Our grand-daughter pulls her shoes off at every opportunity. The school called Regie and asked them to buy her some "high-tops" so she couldn't just push them off. It is so funny ....but cute as well.....

Hopefully some day, she will be able to tie her shoes...........I pray for that day.

Thanks dolfan, for getting our minds back on what is really important....
