on learning how to tie her shoes.

a few months ago, when we were talking about kindergarten registration,
she said "i can't go to kindergarten! i don't know how to tie my shoes."
hayden promptly replied with,
"oh, don't worry court. uncle chris will teach you. just like he taught me."
remembering that made me smile.

last night:
her: "i know how to tie my own shoes."
us: "really? who taught you how?"
her: "little bill."
and she sang:
"one little loop. what do you do? wrap the lace around and pull it through."
and it worked like a charm.

i guess you're off the hook, uncle chris. xo
