Ellis Ties Her Shoes

We started showing Ellis how to tie her shoes with no intention of her actually doing it.  We just thought we could introduce the concept and work on it for a while.  She got the first part quickly and did that for a while, having us handle the loops.  Then I showed her the loops and she went into a corner for a wile and then showed us this...

December 2012, Ellis ties her shoes for the first time.  We have a kid who can tie her own shoes.  Super cool!
