1,2 Buckle My Shoe

This isn't exactly the most exciting video I've ever posted, but I had to share. We got Josie new shoes for her birthday (size 8!!) and she became very interested in threading and buckling them herself. She did the right foot and then began working on the left. I grabbed the camera to capture this 'big girl' moment, which ended up being 4 full minutes showing Josie's sheer determination. This has always been a quality of hers that we admire so I love that I finally captured it on film. My favorite part is her running commentary about how easy it is. I guess she's trying to think positively. :) Enjoy!

Of course she was going to figure that out. Like mother like daughter. I love the fact she didn't just stop and let you do it. Love grandma
