shoe fail!

Big Boy is learning to tie his shoes. He has trouble with holding the first loop together while wrapping the other tie around to pull through. You know what I'm talking about. He says, "I'm a failure because I can't do this!" And then he won't try again due to said failure. This is even after much encouragement and telling him that tying shoes or not doesn't make anyone a failure. That he's a success in our eyes just because he's ours. Anyhow, I don't REALLY give a hoot if he ever ties shoes again after he learns how, but he needs to know how to tie a knot or a bow for many other things than shoes.

Once he masters it, I have a sweet pair of Velcro close Skechers waiting for him - because they will "make me go fast!"

ok - nice changes

I really have no idea how to actually USE blogger. After all, I am the only one who reads this trash! :)

Not much going on. Let's recap last week.

Wednesday, April 25, my dearest friend and I went out to "Dinner and a Cause" at Bricco restaurant in Akron benefiting the Autism Society of Ohio, Greater Akron Chapter. We had salads and pasta and pizza and it was great!!!

Saturday, April 28, we went to Pump It Up with the kids for another ASO event. So - 2p-4p jumping and jumping and sliding!! They had a ball!!! Later that night, we went to Peabody's in Cleveland to see the band Bowling For Soup. It was a lot of fun with some great folks! Got really drunk on Dortmunder Gold - than k you Great Lakes Brewing!

So, two days out of seven. not bad. :)
