Been working with him on this for months and today it just clicked. He did both shoes without any help and the bunny ears actually stayed tied. Wife got it on video. I'm way more excited about this than I probably should be but man it feels like a win. Next up: convincing him that velcro shoes are for quitters.
That's huge! The moment when it clicks is the best. My 6 year old finally got it last month and now he does it unprompted. You're going to see him doing it everywhere just to show it off.
This is the stuff that actually matters. Not the promotion or the money, just watching your kid figure something out on their own. Awesome work putting in the time with him.
YES! That moment when it just clicks is incredible. You put in the work for months and then boom, suddenly they've got it. Bet he was so proud of himself. That's one of those wins you remember.
This is the stuff that doesn't make the highlight reel but honestly means everything. He's gonna remember that you were patient enough to teach him this. Nice work.
Dude that's awesome. My oldest just got this down last year and I swear he wore shoes for like a week straight just to show off the skill. Does yours want to wear shoes constantly now?

Congratulations to your son! These little wins are what it's all about. Takes patience to stick with teaching them stuff like that when it would be faster to just do it yourself.
