Quiet Sacrament Meeting

Let me start out by saying I would rather teach a child to read than teach him/her how to tie shoes. That has always seemed like a task that is better left to Mario. But with him gone and one 6 year-old still not tying shoes, it was left to me to teach Zach. For some reason Zach chose Sacrament meeting to learn. I looked over and noticed him practicing. So I tried to quickly show him the "bunny ear" method. That is not the way I learned but I assumed it was the easiest. He just was not getting it. But he was very quiet (unfortunately not reverent) while practicing over and over again. Finally I decided to teach him my method (the right-handed way and Zach's left-handed) and he got it right away. He spent the rest of the meeting perfecting his new skill. Hurray! No more tying shoes.

On separate notes, Eric is the new Deacon's Quorum President and our ward has a new starting time...8 am. Thank goodness I am a morning person.
