Achievement unlocked: tying shoelaces.

(They claimed this morning they've reached level 2 ka-ching! -- which is also knowing a double knot.)

This is something they deliberately challenged themselves to learn -- they chose to get laces shoes during the latest equipment upgrade* in order to force figuring it out.


* We're at the OMG-need-new-shoes-every-three-months stage of growth, eep.

Having had to teach a few kids the ropes (or the laces) when they came into class, well done the eaglet! :o)

Yes, the self-challenge seems to me the bigger step. Worth saluting!

That is extremely cool, and rare IME. May it continue to serve them well!

Ooh, awesome! Congratulations :)

And ha--I remember my grandmother teaching me how to tie my shoes, and telling me that you wound about twice "if you wanted to be fancy." Leaving me for years with the impression that how many times you wound the string ariund the knit was a crucial part of formal wear :P

Wow. The Kitten has shown zero interest in this particular skill. On the other hand, she's shown great interest in building Rube Goldberg-style "traps." Fortunately for her poor parents, these traps have so far been confined mostly to her room.

Also, in AZ through Fri morning if you guys wanted to do dinner or breakfast or coffee...?
