maybe its because he's a boy,
maybe it's because they make so many options for shoes without ties,
or maybe its that i got lazy and because he is the 3rd of 3 and has 2 sisters a mom and a dad to help him we just never made it a priority.
but finally after 2 days of practice, my little guy can now tie his shoes.
he's so proud.
maybe secretly i dont want him to grow up!
it goes so fast...
Sometimes I think Velcro was one of the worst inventions :) Good for your boy! Kudos!

They do grow up too fast! He's adorable and I hope he's very proud of himself.

It's all those things. A lot of my 3rd graders still struggle with tying their shoes and I think it's because they've been use to Velcro for all their preschool and lower school years. Can you blame them? :)

I can relate to the not wanting them to grow up... my Little One is 37 years old LOL....
Another milestone along life's highway for your little chap.

Way to go!! Who cares, so he didn't tie his shoes...there is worse things in life! Look at the bright side...He's not 30 and first learning! I don't want mine to grow up either but he does every day right in front of me!
