Learning to Tie Shoes...

We started working with Brayden a week or two ago in learning how to tie his own shoes. It has been a step-by-step process with first just being able to put his shoes on and then cross the laces and pull one through. Once that was achieved we went on to loops.

It wasn't easy and sometimes ended in frustration, but we would take a break and start fresh the next day. Practice makes perfect.

 

He was so excited to go to school the next day and tell Mrs. Arnoldi and his friends that he knew how to tie his shoes. When I was putting him to bed he said "Hey, maybe I can teach some of my friends how to tie their shoes. Sydney, knows how to tie her shoes, but she doesn't know how to double knot." 

Proud of our bear and his accomplishment. Next thing he wants to achieve is learning how to snap his fingers.
