He can ride a bike, swim every lap you can think of in the pool, write his name in cursive, read 2-3 chapter books a week, get himself ready for school, brush all the hard to reach spots of his teeth, make himself a sandwich, get himself to scouts, piano or art lessons on time, put all his dirty clothes in the laundry room, tell time, clean the bathroom, weed the flower beds, and oh so much more!But there was ONE thing that Drew just couldn't do... Tie his shoes! That is, until now!!
He had his eye on a new pair of Converse sneakers, but we told him we weren't buying him shoes that tie until he learned how to tie them by himself. We made several previous feeble attempts to no avail... Until last Sunday, when Grandma & Grandpa Peterson sat him down and practiced with him over and over and over and over and over and over (get the picture).
He finally mastered it and we told him if he wore shoes that tied all week long and tied them himself every time, we'd buy him the sneakers of his dreams.Well, he did it, and he's now the proud owner of a spanking new pair of Chucks! All night he kept saying "Hey guess what? I got my Converse!" It was too funny!
Congratulations Drew!

Good Job Drew!
Cute picture too
Tell Drew Way to go! I am amazed that some of the fourth graders in my class do not know how to tie their shoes, so this is a great accomplishment for him! Tell the boys Hi for me. We need to plan a fall party together...we miss you guys!
