Nate's in 4th Grade now!!!

It's been a while since I gave you all an update on Nathaniel. Yesterday, he started his first day in the 4th grade with Mrs. Harris. So far, so good. He told me he got to sit with all 4 of his really good friends and something happened and they all got separated so now he sits by a girl he doesn't really know. Maybe he will be able to sit with them again and some point in the year if they are really good. 
He has his new Cochlear Implants this year which from what he says, helps him hear a lot better and clearer. Awesome! He got a couple new outfits and a couple pair of new shoes. Little man is hooked up this year so it makes it a little easier for me to get him up and get him ready.
As a parent, I worry... I was wandering when he grows up how he is going to wake up on his own, when Mommys not there to do it. So, I researched of course and there are some really cool vibrating alarms that you place under your pillow at night, and depending on how much you want to spend, the vibration gets stronger. One was called Sonic Boom, I think. It was like $100 but it was suppose to have a very good vibration technique that pretty much shakes the whole bed.  Technology is such a blessing, in this matter at least.
We have been settled in our new house for about 2 years that God led us to. We had a friend of mine that owns it and she and her husband are Gods blessings to our family. They have been great to work with, or fix things without hesitation. 
Nate has came so far since age 3. He is now 9 years old, 4ft 4in, and 67 lbs. His speech and attitude and understanding has improved so much. He still struggles with communication but we are working on that daily.  Nate can do anything he puts his mind to and is a very smart boy.  I am so proud of both my children and my husband and I are truly blessed.
I'll date again soon, until then...Love you guys and thanks for reading.
