Told you so

3.8.13

See? 
You wanted to wear velcro shoes forever. You said you’d never be able to do it. You told me it was too hard, that your fingers just couldn’t work that way. You told me just to do it for you. 
But, look at that. 
You did it. You tied your shoe this morning for the first time. That bunny ear didn’t come loose. You rocked that tied lace. 
I confess that I do typically like to be right. Yeah, I do. But, today, I’m really really happy that I was right. I knew you could do it. I knew you could. I knew you could. 
And, now you know you can too.

    That’s really funny timing, I had basically the same conversation with Peyton yesterday … except that I still tied her shoes for her :-)

Hello

I overthink everything. This blog is a prime example. Make yourself a cup of coffee and sit down for a read. Actually, make that a pot of coffee. There’s a lot of overthinking here.
