My 10-year old son relaces his first glove!
Posted: September 1st, 2008, 12:54 amOver the past few weeks, my son Tennyson has been telling me he wants to learn how to lace gloves. Yesterday, we dug through some boxes of gloves I have acquired over the years from various places. He found this Rawlings kids glove, and decided to work on it.
He did most of the work- I helped. The only thing he didn’t do was the wrist strap- I took care of that. Other than that, it was him doing the work with me helping as needed. When he was struggling I would ask if he wanted help as I reached for the glove, he would pull it away, saying, “No dad, I can do it!” Half the time, he would ask for help a minute later, but the other half he struggled through it, and did it on his own.
He decided on the dark blue lace, so we went with that. It was a good weekend- lacing a glove with my son while watching my alma mater beat Michigan. He’s excited to do another one.
My wife took several pictures:
