Persistence

Alexis came to me yesterday evening and asked Chad and I to teach her how to tie shoes. I instantly told her "absolutely"! I began to wonder why it took me this long to teach her this skill. Maybe because velcro shoes seem less stressful or I simply overlooked this skill because I was busy teaching her other things. Regardless, Alexis was eager to learn how to tie her own shoes!

As Chad and I took turns teaching her how to tie shoes, I took a step back and watched as she was determined to master this new skill. I began to think of this persistence and determination she had as a wonderful trait to have in life! When she puts her mind to accomplishing something, she is bound and determined to achieve it.

My hope for you, Alexis; is that you carry this eagerness to achieve goals throughout your entire life. If you do that, life has wonderful things in store for you!

Progress Report: Alexis is still working hard at tying her shoes. She has come a long way in just a short time! She is currently working at making sure the bunny has 2 ears, not 1...practice makes perfect!
