So how old where you when you learned to tie your shoes?  I don’t remember how old I was but I know I was not yet in school.  But now I have a better question for you and I want you to go try it.  Go try and tie your shoes with one hand.  HA HA HA.  Got you.  Much harder done then said right.  Well I was over reading My Best Friend’s blog and her son Bug is  also struggles tying his shoes.

So just because we have one hand, two hands or no hands does not mean we can all tie shoes the same.  Nan did an amazing blog post with a video that I want to share with you.

Sometimes things can be so difficult for little Bug.  We’ve tried for months to teach little Bug how to lace a shoe with a cardboard cutout, lacing cards even tennis shoes but with no luck.  This summer Bug took OT and his instructor loaned us a teaching tool that made all the difference in the world. He learned to lace his shoe in 3 days. Yes, can you believe it, 3 days! I was blown away and he was so proud of himself.  We are still working on the bow tying but we got half of it down so we are both so proud.  Just look at him go.

That is just a snippet.  If you want to read the whole thing and watch Bug tie his shoes and My BFF help her son then head on over to A Mom Blog and check it out.  She even gives the link to that amazing shoe that helped Bug learn to tie his shoes.  OH and….

WAY TO GO BUG!  WE ARE SUPER PROUD OF YOU.
