I've been working with him on this for like 3 months and today he just did it. No help. I literally just stood there watching and he nailed it. My wife wasn't even home so I immediately texted her a video. Best feeling ever. I know it sounds small but man this parenting thing is awesome sometimes.
YES. My son finally figured out his shoes a few months ago and I had the same thing - just standing there watching him do it completely on his own. Something about seeing that confidence click just hits different. Congrats man, you earned this one.
That's huge! Seriously. Those little breakthroughs feel small in the moment but they're actually massive. Three months of patient teaching and it finally clicked. That's the kind of dad moment that matters more than people realize.

This is what it's all about right here. Not the big stuff, just watching them nail something they've been working toward. Your patience with him those three months is probably teaching him more than the actual shoe tying.
