odin excitedly ran towards me and exclaimed he had finally tied his shoes. all! by! himself!

what a glorious mass of knots!

he was so proud as he proclaimed that he would never have to wear his “little boy shoes” to school again ( his “little boy” shoes have velcro snaps for easy on and off during the day – keep in mind that he’s only been in kindergarten for less than week ).

we told him that we were so proud of his progress on tying shoes but that we should probably work on tying them with less knots and that he should probably keep wearing his velcro shoes for a little while.

his “little boy” shoes promptly disappeared. oh, we wonder where they could have gone.

odin is tight lipped.
