Happy Friday

Well it is a little late to say this since it is Friday night. Well anyway I hope everyone had a good Friday and good week. Today was sprinkler day at Nathan's school. Ms. Faye said he had a great time and loved it and got wet from head to toe. I told her that he loves the water. Donald and I would like to try to get him swimming lessons but it will probably have to be next year. Uncle David could teach him since Uncle David used to teach swimming lessons years ago at the Y. But we don't have a pool to go to for him to teach him. Donald and I measured Nathan the other day he is 45 inches long and weighs 40 pounds. He is tall and slim. Tomorrow we are going to a water Birthday party for some twin boys in Nathan's class. The twins names are Braydon and Gavin. Gavin and Nathan are friends and Nathan aggravates Braydon. It is so funny because Ms. Faye said that Gavin and Nathan were the only two kids that did not play with the other kids and only played by themselves and one day they started playing with each other. Donald said that maybe Nathan could sense that Gavin was like him. Their mom, Brandy, is the secretary at the school and also my friend, she was in their classroom yesterday morning when I dropped Nathan off. She said that Gavin and Nathan just lit up when they saw each other. She said then they went over to each other and gave each other a hug. Their type of hug no hands or arms used just kind of leaned into each other and touched shoulders. Brandy said that maybe that was the autistic hug. Gavin has mild autism and we have been told that Nathan has some signs of mild autism. It makes Donald and and me very happy that he has a friend. Brandy also signed a waiver for Kindergarten next year and they will be in Nathan's class next year at North Hills. Well I guess I have rambled long enough just thought I would update everyone about Nathan's friend Gavin.
