he can tie his shoes!!!

ok, 2 any1 else, this might not b that big a deal

he's 9 years old...of course he should b able 2 tie his shoes!

but dude, he's on the spectrum...& learning 2 tie ones shoes is quite a challenge 4 an Aspie!!!

we've tried 2 teach him several times over the years...usually, he'd get so frustrated trying 2 learn, we'd give up trying 2 teach

but something clicked this time...something inside of him made him decide that it was finally time 2 learn!

i think it has something 2 do with 3rd grade...he's shown a little more embarrassment about not knowing how this year

but whatever the reason...i really don't give a damn!

i'm just so stinkin proud that he can finally do it...all on his own!

not as proud as he is tho!
;0)

My daughter is going to be 6 this weekend and she can't tie her shoes either. I tried and tried to teach her but she JUST DOESN'T GET IT!!

It's so frustrating that I've given up. I have. Someone else has to teach her cuz I'm SO over it. I hope she learns before she goes to college....


CONGRATS to your son. You just opened up a whole new area of shoe buying now!

It is so funny you posted this. Austin just learned too!! I was all excited and thought it had something to do with the little I have showed him. Then he fessed up that his OT has been working on it with him!! No matter, I am just happy.

Congrats to Jaden!! Such a big step for our boys.

Now to work with the twins!

thx guys!

oh J.Suarez, my daughters are 5 1/2 & almost 7 - they haven't even begun 2 start trying! i think it's cause they wear so many shoes that don't tie tho...they rarely wear their shoes with laces

JSmith, way 2 go Austin!!! i've gotta give Curtis full credit - Saturday was the day Jaden officially learned & Curt was the only 1 really working with him the days leading up 2 that...those boys really have a connection ;0)
