How long

[DarkSunDS]

I've learned about tying my shoes for about a year, a few years ago, then I just got back into Velcros and I don't know how to tie laces anymore.
Learned how to swim before ten, I don't remember the exact age.
I was never able to whistle.

Interesting thread!

I learned to tie my shoes at age 8. The reason I remeber, is because I recall a particularly frustrating day at school in which my shoes had come untied and I couldn't re-tie them. I remember crying because no one would help me re-tie them. Someone eventually did though, a kid from my class, but it took me several more weeks after that incident until I finally learned to tie them without assistance.

Incidently, I stopped tying my shoes years ago! I wear skate shoes, and everyone knows your not supposed to tie those! You'd look a bit of a prat if you did.. so I just straight lace them, tie a knot at the top to keep it tight, and then tuck the laces into the little pocket on the inside of the shoe that holds the tongue in place. It's comfy, and all I have to do is slip my shoes on. Never had a problem with the laces coming undone either- I've mastered the technique. That's not to say that I can't tie shoes.. I still can, I just don't like to if it's my normal shoes. If I'm wearing dress shoes or something, then I will tie them correctly.

I started riding a bike, with no training wheels, at age four. I remember riding my bike(with training wheels) at my grandmas house, while my my family was visiting, and asking my uncle if he could take them off cause I didn't think I needed them anymore. So he did, and as soon as he did I took off across the lawn.. The only problem was I was still having trouble braking, and by the time I saw the hole in the yard it was too late. I cartwheeled over my handlbars, and face planted into a mud puddle..

I don't know when I started talking, but I know I started walking at 1 or so.. but sorry, no story on those as I don't remember learning to do those things.

I believe that I potty trained around the same time that I started talking, but I'm not sure. I wasn't dry at night until age 10 though. But I had a medical problem so no biggie really.

I know for a fact that the first game I ever played was a mario game(#2?) for the NES at age 4-5.

My voice broke at age 13. Kinda late, most of the kids I knew already had a voice break. But I wasn't a big kid either so I think that had a lot to do with it.

I started growing facial hair at 16, but it's only just now really thickening up.
I never touched a computer until I was eight and my school had them. I know, pathetic, right? Not my fault though..
That's all folks!

I learnt how to tie my shoes at 11, I was the only left handed person in my family, so I could never catch on...
I was day potty trained @ 3yrs, night I have never been dry.

I learned how to ride my bike at 4 and actually had a bad bike accident because they wouldnt take off my training wheels at 4 so I tried to ride my sisters bike which was like 2 sizes bigger than mine.

Shoes: 7-8

Bike:8-9ish

potty training: not sure, I took a while though, as I recall wearing pull-ups to my 4th birtday party and diapers that night.

Voice break: about 12, I got really deep really fast.

Walking: do not know, best guess around 2

Computer: i recall playing soon after moving into our current house, so about 3

Swiming: around 6, now I am on swim team and a better swimmer than any other guy in my class.

I was potty trained maybe around one, had my first videogames around the eary atari times, when I had literally every single game. I learned to tie my shoes when I was maybe eleven, learned to ride a two wheeler at about seven or eight, and learned to swim at eight or nine. I first used a computer around five, and was a net addict by seven.

I still cuddle with my stuffed animals, I still use a nightlight sometimes, and my voice is still really really cracky.

Oh, Atari 2600 was dis-continued early in my life. Wow. Well, I had all of them anyways. I assume I was playing about as long as I could get my hands on a controller. Though my first games I guess I really got into were "Super Mario World", "Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars", and "Mario Superstars."

[Me :p]

I was potty trained at 2
Tied my shoes at 4
Rode a bike at 4
Played video games at 5 (1080 (that snowboarding game))

I didnt have much of a childhood... *sob*

[Fire2box]

I was potty trained at around 3 or 3 and a half.

I rode a bike at around 7 and shortly after broke a toe riding my bike.

I played and beat the the first level of super mario brothers on the NES when i was about 2 and a half. Thats what my whole family says anyways.

I was using computers at around 4 years old.

i dont remember at what age I got potty trained but i learned to ride a bike at age 12 (i was scared up until then) and i learned to tie my shoes at age 9 and i learned to read at age 5

I wasn't fully potty trained until after age 4, at least at night. I even remember the strategy my parents used to get me out of diapers, and I certainly don't remember anything from before I was 3 1/2.
So that leaves me rather unsure about the other dates.
I could walk (or stagger around like a drunken sailor) before I was 1, according to photos and my mom. No clue when I started talking - I guess not too late or too early, or I would have heard stories.
I could ride my bike without training wheels before I started elementary school (so before age 6). No clue about shoe laces.
