Made me think of that famous quote by Einstein about wearing stripes with plaid or something like that. Thanks for the laugh.<br /><br />Lisa - you are right. He's gonna practice until he can do it with his eyes closed.

I've had to do it over their shoulder, as if I was tying it on myself, but then their shoulders and head get in the way. Best advice, get your neighbour to give Logan a tutorial and then he needs to practice, practice, practice! Being not the best dressers is an eccentriciy the acedemically gifted are afforded. Just remember that, Serene! lol<br /><br />Congrats to Logan on choosing his school! Best wishes for his continued success....both in acedemics and figuring out his tie!courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14618347070399093071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3694640233648937953.post-49205717237825234902011-02-10T20:36:08.939-08:002011-02-10T20:36:08.939-08:00I was just about to say what Barb said....it's...I was just about to say what Barb said....it's nearly impossible to tie a tie on someone else!

But in Jim's defense, it is nearly impossible to tie a tie on someone else. Everything is backwards. I remember my Jim trying to do it for the boys!! LOL LOL<br /><br />Glad Logan made his decision. I know he will do great because he made the decision. Blessings to him as he starts high school soon.<br /><br />I know you would like to think it is over...but girl, with a teenager...it has just begun!! Hang tight!!!
