Why We Like This
While Eden most certainly needs a bit of help with learning how to tie her shoes, she likes to have her own time to practice. I think having this shoe to practice with gives her time to learn without feeling the pressure of another person breathing down her neck. She understands the idea, it's just the implementation that she's getting caught up on. I like that she feels like she can practice and that she can get better even if she practices by herself.
