He Did It!

You just don't realise how difficult certain little tasks actually are, that we do every single day, until you try to teach a five year old how to do it!

Yesterday, after weeks of instruction and practice, Brendan successfully tied a bow all by himself. He went to get dressed in the morning, as he usually does, and he was taking forever. I was wondering what he was doing so quietly in his room, as this is usually a very bad sign. I waited patiently for the crash of something breakable, or the "Mom, I did something I don't want to tell you..." (I've been getting that a lot lately) But voila! Here is what he was working on!

He was extremely proud of himself! Such a typical, first born boy! He just decides he wants to do these things himself and he sets out to make it happen. Remind you of anyone????? I'll give you a hint.....It's not me! :)

Here's mini-Rand with his first tied bow!

Oh, and this is for you, Royal....so you don't have to:
It looks like he is about ready to tie his own flies, don't you think??
Fish on, Uncle Bubba!!!
