Thrice.
The first time, I very carefully didn't look as she bunny eared those laces into submission. "Connie! Look! I tied my shoes!" So we did a high five, and I watched as she did a slightly less thrilling bow on the next shoe.
By the time she tied the untied lace later (note to self - after she laces them, I must pull and double knot. She'll be double knotting herself, soon enough), it was old hat. She didn't remark on it in any way.
I did tell her she figured out shoe tying much earlier than I did, though I didn't say how much earlier. It's a little embarrassing, honestly. (Very nearly double digits, if you must know, and that's just for bunny ears! The other way took longer, at least partially because it was always badly explained to me. If people had just said it was only a variation on the square-knot tying I already knew... well, it still would have taken me a while. But perhaps not so long.)

Date: 2008-02-08 10:30 am (UTC)Possible. I only learned one way and thought that was the one and only way.
I remember visiting friends of my father's and on the way out, three people (two from that family and I) were tying our shoes together, and I saw that each person was using a different method, which seemed really weird to me since I thought there was only one way.
So I can't tell you which way I do it since the method doesn't have a name for me beyond "tying my shoelaces" - the only variation is whether I do it once or twice. (I do it twice with my current shoelaces because they tend to come untied otherwise. Even so they sometimes do.) It might be what you call "bunny ears", though.
