A New Adventure

We might be a little slow on this, but Alyssa just got her first pair of lace up shoes, and she's learning to tie them. Make an X, put one over and through, pull. Make a tree, send the bunny around and through the hole, pull. That's it, right? I'm afraid that I'll ruin this important childhood milestone by doing something wrong. It's crazy to think that she's growing up and learning new things. She still needs to learn to ride a bike, even though she's gotten extremely good at her scooter. I'm thinking of starting her with piano lessons this summer, and she's definitely excited for ballet in the fall.

Andy does his shoes different. He does the regular first knot, but then makes two loops and ties them together. He says this works like a double-knot.
Good luck!

Its so easy to wait now with all the slip-on shoes available. Tying shoes is one of the things they pass off in their Kindergarten classes here, so she's probably right on track. Hooray for growing up!
