"I can tie my shoes." by Gage

 

 Sweet boy, you learned to tie your shoes on 5/14/2012. You were so proud of yourself, and you thought you'd NEVER get it. .....but you did. 

{And Daddy: thank you for teaching Gage in a way that finally clicked with him....despite Mommy's best efforts! You are either a better teacher, or you just knew a way that Gage's brain would make sense of quickly. Me? Well, I tried. ....repeatedly. Thank you, Daddy, for teaching him!}

He repeated the process later that night, as he got his outfit ready for his important breakfast on 5/15. {To note, he laid out the clothes...shoes & all. Morning of the breakfast, he chose a faded Toy Story t-shirt to wear. Go figure.}
