Shoe Tying
My father taught me how to try my shoes. It took me about two hours to fully understand all the concepts. I have come a long way since then and can tie my shoes in far less than two hours. -

Learing how to ride a bike started with training wheels, but eventually my father took those off and taught me how to ride without them. I fell off the bike many times. Don't worry I was wearing not only a hemlet but kneepads, elbow pads, and wrist protectors also. -
Remembering my Birthday
This was a very tough thing for me to remember. One day my parents and I sat in their room and they told me my birthday, then they asked me when my birthdaty was. I couldn't remeber the date. We went over it for like an hour and after many tears, I finally remembered my birthday. (It's Feb 26th 1998 btw) -
