Put on Your Own Shoes Day: How old were you when you learned to put on your own shoes? How about when you learned to tie your own shoelaces?

Wow, I can't remember at all.

I'll tell a story about shoelaces instead. When the SO and I got our first cats together, one of them, Norby, was a kitten a few months old. For a while part of my morning routine became to put on one shoe, tie it, put on the other shoe, tie it, and then tie the first one again because Norby would grab the end of a shoelace he'd just seen moving and pull it.
