Ties her own shoes!

I knew I tied everyone's shoes for them in my kindergarten class, but I had no idea I learned so early!
I LOVE that my mother wrote these little stories. She didn't take many photos; next time I complain about that, remind me of these. 
My mom was amazing.
The story - in case my mother's pencil is hard to read:
When April was a very little girl, even before she was three, she wanted to dress herself.
It is hard for little girls to get dressed alone. Buttons just won't go in the holes, and sometimes their heads get stuck inside their dresses.
April had a big sister name Patty that liked to help. It would have been very easy for April to let Patty dress her every day. But April only let Patty do things that were hard for April. April did as much as she could all by herself. And she found out that every day she could do even more all by herself.
When April was three years old she could get everything on all by herself. Patty didn't need to help anymore at all. Except for one thing. April was still too little to tie her own shoes. But then no three year old can tie her own shoes. Well I never heard of a three year old that could tie shoes. Until Danny showed April how.
