Thanksgiving, A Trip To Seattle etc




Nate had a fun but long holiday weekend. He got to eat and play at Grandma Cindy's. Then he got to see his "girlfriend" K, a girl he knows through skating. They are the same age and they have fun running around chasing each other through the house. The marathon wasn't as fun for Nate, he ended up taking off and getting lost in the crowd. He panicked but had been told that if we got seperated to follow the crowd to the end where they have a booth. He did exactly that and we met up with him there. It was beyond scary for mom and dad but he's smart and actually did what he was supposed to when it mattered. He still tried to take off several more times throughout the day so we have to constantly tell him to stay with us and physically hold his hand or he gets excited and just goes.
He loved the dinosaurs and the space center at the Science Center, it was definitly a hit. He really liked finding out how much he would weigh on each planet. There were so many things he wanted to do but just not enough time. He got to see the majority of the center so he was happy either way.
We got home and went to practice. He and Ericka both crashed today. Nate was goofing off and ran into the wall. I know it hurt but we all got a good laugh at his expense. Sometimes he does things that just leave us scratching our heads, he got up and was fine. He came home and like Ericka fell asleep the second his head hit the pillow.
We have his conference this week so we will find out how he is doing. They are going to do some hearing tests, he has been getting frustrated lately because he is constantly asking people to repeat what they say. We have to practically scream his name. He has failed two other hearing tests before but they always said it was borderline and not something to worry about. I guess they think it's easier to tell us he needs medication rather than finding out other possibilities as to why he may not listen, wish us luck!
