Look what K can do!

More growing up here...

My kids may be at bit slow at learning to tie. I know many learn before kindergarten but I hate tie shoes so they don't have much chance to learn around here. I love velcro. I hate seeing kids with untied shoe strings. Even B has curly strings in her shoes.

But yesterday we bought some new shoes for summer. E and K both fell in love with converse. I think K's biggest reason was so she could learn to tie. She wanted us to teach her right there in Target. We waited until we got home though. And it took her maybe 15 minutes to get it, if that long. She practiced until she went to bed. Then the first thing she did this morning was make sure she remembered how.

Hopefully they both keep them tied. I don't think these would look nearly as cute with curly strings.
