When the kids are little, a large part of the time is spent teaching new things, or celebrating milestones accomplished.
Although I make it a point to rejoice in those things, often my memory is such that soon after, I might forget the details within the event.
On Sunday, Phoenix tied his shoes by himself for the first time. I was actually napping on the couch, after a busy mother’s day weekend, when he shouted, I opened my eyes, expecting something terrible, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear, and see, his sneakers tied correctly!
Now, we’d been working toward this for some time, and I had promised him a prize once he could tie his shoes, so I had to deliver.
He got a bubble sword.
Check him out in action:

That’s great! I was outside when he did this, then he came out screaming that he tied his shoes. I didn’t realize until now that he did it without you telling him how to do it.
Way to go Phoenix!
