Tie shoes

Calvin has to have these tie shoes when we saw them at the store a while back. They are cool and have his favorite super heroes all over them. I made him promise that he would work to learn how to tie them himself if I got them for him. 

Today, he ties one show by himself. 

Earlier this week he got a lesson on the “tie board” at school. His good friends Julius and Eli helped him. This morning after several attempts his sister helped him with where to hold the loops so that he could tie them. And he was successful!
