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)

Yay!!! Great job, Jaden!!
Wow!! Absolutly brillient!
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!
Yay Jaden!!! Amazing how sometimes things just click,huh?
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)
He's so cute. And that's awesome. Ben's still struggling with it.
