As you can see, Nathan is hearing impaired so he wears hearing aids. For the most part he and Mimi get along really well. However due to the "langage barrier" Mimi says that playing with him is a bit hard because he cannot speak and she does not know much sign language although she is learning some from Lisa (Nathan's mom). However Nathan can read as we discovered yesterday. So both Mimi and I decided that the next time we get together she will write on her dry eraser board what she wants to say to him. Today dad told me that Nathan's parents are looking into getting him some cochlear implants. I think that would be so cool. This little boy has been through sooooo much in his short life that it is so wonderful to just see him blossom and grow from the first time we met him about 6 months ago.
