an Eli quirk

When Eli unties his shoes to take them off, he really does the job.  You can imagine my frustration when I am frantically preparing the three children to leave the house, because I am usually running late, and I find that I have to relace his shoes in addition to tying them. 

Another reason to love Crocs or to stick with velcro.  Also another parenting lesson I am apparently still learning. It always takes longer than you think it will to get out that door.

Hilarious...but only to an outsider. I can imagine your frustrations. It takes us FOREVER to get out the door...and I only have 2! I'm surprised you leave the house with 3! :) You are a great mom.

Getting them out the door unfortunately does not seem to get any easier! As they get older there are just more things to distract them...

Your kids have such cute shoes, but I think I'd be too lazy to put up with the laces!
