Nathan was our "danger child".
Standing on his own at just 5 months, and starting to walk at 8 months gave us
more fits than we care to remember. He was never content to just "sit and
play".
In fact we can’t remember him EVER doing that. He had to move.
This type of energy would later find its outlet in sports and outdoor recreation
such as Tennis, Hockey, Skiing, Hiking, Biking, etc. Nate loves sports but I’m
afraid we lived a bit too far in the sticks to help him take advantage of his
desires and abilities. It wasn’t until we moved into our own house (he was
about 13 by then) that facilities were close enough for him to pursue Hockey in
a big way. Within his first 2 years he was one of the top scorers in his
league, and was able to move up to a much more difficult level of play. He
also became the incentive for his mother to "take on the Kiski area school
board" to get Hockey recognized as a sanctioned school "club" - a
feat previously unattainable. Virtually any sport Nate tries he can do
well. Lately that has been rollerblading, skiing, skiboarding, and weight
lifting. This is one guy that will not lead a sedentary life. |
