Shoe tying 101.

Ok, so I am very excited about this new little trick:) I have found that teaching a kid how to tie their shoes is one of the most frustrating thing to do as a parent.

Lately Luke has been very eager to learn...and I have been very eager for him to learn since he likes to wear his cleats 24/7 (and we don't wear shoes inside the house). This involves lots of tying on my part so him learning would be helpful to both of us.

After a super great trick from a high school friend who happens to be an occupational therapist...we have quickly gone from tears to big smiles as he has pretty much figured it out in just a morning.

The trick? Two different colored pipe cleaners!!

Here is a video...
