Kara - we practiced and practiced, then dropped it and waited for awhile, and then they both picked it up in a heartbeat.
We found some velcro tennis shoes that weren't babyish and just waited it out for awhile and tried again. For me, it wasn't worth the struggle or frustration. Granted, we're not in publis school and don't have to follow those rules some set up, so we could afford to wait awhile.
One of the things that helped when we started back up was to have them tie a shoe that wasn't on their foot. That way, we could be in a relaxed position, instead of contorted over their own shoe/foot.
