December 6 – Put on Your Own Shoes Day: How old were you when you learned to put on your own shoes? How about when you learned to tie your own shoelaces?

I don’t remember, but it would have been pre-k. Mom was primary school teacher and had worked with me through the curriculum to the end of first grade before I ever started school. That said, I’m pretty sure most of my shoes were buckle ups. I remember my youngest sibling learning to tie their shoes, there was a cardboard shape painted/printed to look like a shoe with lacing holes and laces to practice on. No idea if this was around for me or was a later addition, there is a fairly large age gap there.

Still being indecisive about my next sewing project, but I have started with a new knitting project. Just jumped right in without really looking at the pattern and now I’m tinking back several rows :( Going to reposition the shaping so it will actually fit (or that’s the idea anyway).
