Nolan is having a great year in second grade. He's on a break from private PT and OT, which my HSA account appreciates. He's on a break from his night leg braces, which thrills him to no end. And his crowning achievement? He learned to tie his shoes.
His school occupational therapist was the one who finally got him to master it, although Grandma had also been working on it. The day it 'clicked' for Nolan was a big deal. He was so proud. A few days later, he told me one of his classmates needed their shoe tied, so Nolan helped the boy out. Nolan is usually on the receiving end and he just loved being able to help someone else for once.
Nolan had his school Christmas program the other night. He had a small speaking part, which he was both excited and nervous about. He didn't need to be worried. He nailed the line and his delivery was perfect. I watched him closely through the whole musical. He put his heart and soul in to his performance. I suspect he has a passion for that. I foresee a lot of school musicals and plays in our future.
Bill says he can see Nolan on stage, TJ in the orchestra pit, and Sam running lights and sound. We will have to see if the kids' interests change. I hope not!
