Today was rainy and cold and that warranted long pants, shirts, and of course sneakers. We have showed Faith a few times how to tie her shoes and she has tried to do it but never seemed quite coordinated enough. And, I feel like we have been flip-flop and crocs people for a while here in Ca.
-Well, we decided to take a drive through wine country today-why not- in the rain, right?! Anyway, we told the girls to get their sneakers. Faith quietly got hers and brought them to the living room. She sat down and went to work-as I sat there and watched. A few minutes later, she yelps "I DID IT!"
Shocked and curious, I look down and saw that she actually tied her shoe!
I was amazed:) I had to look it over to see, and well, the shoe was tied! So, of course, I praised her and then prompted her to do the other shoe. And, she tied that one too!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am amazed at how much she retains. It's mind blowing really. She needs to hear something once or twice and she totally gets it. ( Although, it doesn't appear that way in the moment)
After, she told me that she was so proud of herself...hahaha. I told her that I was proud of her for working at it and finally learning!(great teaching moment about perserverence)
.......It is always so heart warming to see the fruits of your labor:) You never know when that moment will be. And, it just makes ya smile!
