He wants to do this himself! Sometimes he throws a fit about wanting to do it all by himself. He has to take the straps out, not all the way, but almost, and the tongue has to be sticking up.
He usually gets them on the correct feet with his Lightning McQueen shoes, cause Lightning goes on the outside, but these black and white ones, he sometimes messes up. He had a little guidance this time.
The straps have to be perfect, and no these pictures were not posed, he was actually getting mad that I was taking them. But I wanted to be able to share that my 3 yr old can put his own shoes on.
The best part about this outfit, is that he picked everything out. He picked the shirt, and the black pants with the red stripes on the side, AND the red socks. Not bad on the matching part. And he did it all by himself, from putting on the underwear to putting his shoes on. Had some help on the socks, he hasn't really done those much yet.
I'm so proud of my big boy! "I'm a big kid now!"
If the shoes aren't black on the inside, get a sharpie and write DAM in the left shoe and IEN in the right shoe. That way, he know they're on the right feet when he can read his name. (got it from a Parents mag)
