With school around the corner...yikes..... I needed to get the girls some new shoes. Ruth isn't a fan of tennis shoes. I think she has only owned one pair in 5 years. But I knew she would NOT be wearing flip flops to school. Picking out a pair she likes is a challenge...too tight, not enough bling, too hard to get on, etc. She makes every excuse in the books about why she doesn't want them. But this time around, she knew she needed shoes to go to kindergarten. She tried on 3 pairs...2 tie shoes and one with the elastic laces. I was going for those since they'd be easier to put on for her but she was liking the ones below in the picture. Clare is showing her how to tie her shoes in the store. Ruth was so cute trying on the shoes. She'd run around in the isles to see if she can run fast, ha. Out of the 3 shoes she tried on, she took the blue shoes below.
The next morning, she put her shoes on and asked Phil to help her tie. After a couple of times, she had it mastered!!! I couldn't believe it!!! We haven't worked with her at all with it earlier...4th child syndrome, sorry Ruthie. I underestimated your ability to tie your own shoes. Your teachers will LOVE you for this, and PE teacher too ( so Aunt Sara says).
