Thus quote the big girl
(picture stolen from eBay)
Today we went on a little shopping trip to get the big girl a new pair of shoes (sneakers). Her old ones were looking rather ratty, and I have been holding off for a while. The sun was shining, so I didn’t have an excuse to avoid walking over to Talpiot.
The saleslady at my favorite shoe store was in top form. She had us in and out in less than 15 minutes, and even promised that these shoes will last until she outgrows them, and her little sister will even be able to wear them. (I’ll believe it when I see it.)
At the next store the laces came untied and I had to tie them for her. While I said she would need to learn how to tie her own shoes before first grade (next year). She said to me “I need to go to “Ripui B’Isuk” (Occupational Thearapy) to learn how to tie my shoelaces. I said what??? And she told me that Dovid* went to Ripui B’Isuk and he knows how to tie his laces.
*name changed to protect the child with poor motor skills 
LOL!!!!!!
I wonder if they still make those dolls that were around when I was a kid, the ones with all the buttons and laces and zippers.. they were great for practice.

That would be the Dressy Bessie Doll and Dapper Dan. You can get the old ones for between 10 and 30 dollars on eBay.

Ripui B’Isuk…My first thought: OT Twins are both succesful, 10 years have passed and no OT exits at what was NLU that is now ULM.
