Shoe Trying.

I remember when I learned to tie my shoes.  It seems to happen at the same time as learning to snap, whistle, and blow gum bubbles.  Six is developmentally monumental.

So - Elias can technically tie his shoes.  He's been able to for awhile now.  But, he hates to do it.  So - his method is to triple-knot the laces and slip them on & off - pre-tied - each day until they eventually loosen to the point of tripping.

Then, he must tie them again.

And, this is how it goes:

Bravo!
