She Can Tie

It has taken Kristen until she was almost nine, but with velcro-latching tennis shoes, she hasn't seen a need or felt motivated to learn to tie laces--until today. She was home sick from school again and had a pull tie in her capris.  She asked me to show her how to tie as she got tired of trying to figure it out on her own.  It only took a few tries and she had those bunny ears tied.  Course, she had to pick some of the stinkiest shoes for practice.
