The other day as I was putting on my shoes, Devon was watching me intently, and I knew what he was thinking. In the past, he has spent hours trying to accomplish the task of tying his shoes. He's come so close and has had such persistence that I could do nothing but praise him. He has also become extremely frustrated when he is unsuccessful. I knew he was going to take on the task once again.
I handed over my addidas and said "go for it". He spent about five minutes before he held the shoe up and showed me that he had indeed tied the shoe. Yippee!! No more velcro shoes for this boy. At least, not for about 70 years.
