The Girl Can Tie Her Shoes!

She finally got it. I have been working with her and working with her with it always ending with a hissy fit of her crossing her arms and yelling "I can't do it." I decided to teach her the short cut. What does it matter how she does it as long as she is tying her own shoes. I am so proud of her and she is so proud of herself. She is always untieing her shoes so that she can show who ever is watching that she can do it. Then she always ask "Are you proud of me?" Of course we are. We are so proud of you and even a little heart broken because it just makes you that much more grown up.

If you are wondering, here is the short cut.

Take one shoe string and make a bunny ear

Take the second shoe string and make a bunny ear

Now tie the two bunny ears together.

So much easier to explain that

Make a bunny ear

Take the other shoe string and go around the bunny ear

Now push through the loop

This is were I would lose her because she would lose her string or would try to put the whole string all the way through. This is when the hissy fit would come and all frustration would set in.

But she got it now and I am free....for one kid anyways. One down, two more to go.
