Tie shoes? Check!

We did it!  Or more specifically Ian did it, with lots of Jeff's help!  As previously reported in Taking the plunge in buying shoes with laces, I am proud to report that Ian can tie his shoes!  Woo-hoo!! 

Tie a kid's shoes and they stay tied for a day.  Teach a kid to tie them and he can do it for a lifetime.

Needless to say, I am so incredibly proud of Ian.  I sometimes feel that Ian gets a raw deal when it comes to my time and attention.  And because he is so good-natured, it's easy to let some stuff slide, like having to teach shoe tying instead of doing the easy thing and keep buying velcro shoes. Jeff took this shoe tying teaching lesson very seriously and within (3) 10 minute sessions each night, Ian got it.  And now, there is no stopping him.  This is very exciting.  Go Ian!!!!!!!!!
