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!"
