It was a big morning at the Lambert home this morning. My 6 year old FINALLY learned how to tie his shoe!!!! We have been practicing without luck for awhile now. EVERY time we have practiced either Brady has ended up in tears or I have given up because he would always start whining or crying saying "I can't do it" in a very prolonged whiny voice. To me, that is the equivalence of nails running down a chalkboard. Patience is not my thing folks. This morning I had to psyche myself up and promise myself I would keep my cool. I told Brady that he HAD to keep his cool too or else this would never work. As luck would have it we both kept our cool. It was just the right combination of patience and practice. He was so proud and told me as soon as he got to school he was going to tell Miss Kumpf (his teacher). He still needs a little practice but he pretty much has it down. Way to go Bradester! Mamma's proud!
