Nate was pretty excited about his birthday this year. He loved opening up his presents and eating cupcakes. He's been asking for cupcakes a lot! He still doesn't like frosting so we pulled off the top of his cupcake. Brad had the genius idea to get Nate his own little space set. It had a rocket, space shuttle, and some astronauts. Nate LOVES it. I couldn't ever get a good shot with him with the rocket because he was always blasting off with the rocket.
Nate's face when he saw his new scooter! But we could never get him to ride it. Silly boy!
My original plans for Nate's birthday had included going to Bellview Park. Unfortunately, I figured out the morning of that it's not open on Mondays! So, we went a few days later with one of Nate's therapists, Katie. We went for a train ride (Nate's favorite part,) saw the animals at the petting zoo, and played in the river.
Nate really wanted to pet the piggy until it decided to pee on him!
As I was typing up this blog, Nate came in and saw the top picture and said, "It's Nate's birthday!" He wanted to see all of the pictures. It may not have been his most extravagant birthday, but it certainly was memorable to him. And really, this little buddy makes life fun!
