As most of you know, our Nate is
significantly speech delayed. However, this special little guy has his way of communicating. Times can be quite frustrating for him, but he uses sign language to let us know his wants and needs. Recently quite a few of Nate's signs have been turning into verbal words, and we are so proud of him. I love to hear him say Mom.....finally. I snapped this pic of Nate today when he was signing the word, "water" to me. I love this picture of him. As he was signing he was saying the word "water", while he walked across hundreds of rocks, excited to throw them in the river. Nate is hard to describe because he is so unique.....you have to experience him. I love him so much.
Nate never seems to have a problem keeping himself entertained. His new thrill is riding down our hill on a mini skateboard. On his belly seems to be his favorite position, although he has tried sitting on his bum, standing, going down backwards.....all fortunately without incident. He is a joy to watch. I just love this little guy. And, yes Mother......I know he needs a haircut!!
Noah and Nate had their first swimming lesson today. They loved it! I have two little swimmers on my hands. They have always loved the water, and that was quite obvious today. The boys really like their teacher, he worked so well with them. Noah and Nate are excited to enjoy the water twice a week. I am looking forward to watching them from the side of the pool, clapping for them and cheering them on.....I love these two little guys so much!
