Emma received new red tie shoes recently and we realized it was time that she finally learn how to tie them on her own. Yes she is considerably older than when I learned, but now shoes with velcro, buckles or slip ons are popular for young kids. She made it to the age of eight before she was forced to learn. Now she will proudly boast about her new skill and we dutifully watch as she ties them every day.

These awesome shoes were purchased from ThredUp! They were brand new and quite inexpensive. Yay for reuse fashion!
