Nathan recently attended a HAL (High Ability Learner) seminar about flying. They had a guest speaker that talked to the kids about the different kinds of engines and how they functioned. Nathan loved the seminar and has been talking about it ever since. It's all over my head but I try my best to listen. He told me that he seemed like the only one in the class that seemed interested and that understood it.
I told him that he's really smart with that kind of stuff just like Eric and that we think he'd make a great engineer. He got really excited when I told him that Eric is thinking about majoring in engineering too. He told me, "Mom, Eric and I can open a company together and call it 'Eric and Nathan Engineering.'"
I thought for sure he'd say Nathan and Eric Engineering but he put his big brother's name first. That would be really cool to see them work together.
The two of them are really cute. Eric loves sitting next to Nate during Sacrament meeting and playing games on paper the whole time. I had to finally put an end to that but it is cute to see them bonding.
Nathan talking about the seminar so much reminds me of Erin when she was in the early elementary years. She loved history and so when she'd get home from school, I swear she would repeat word for word the history lesson in school that day. She would go on for 20 or 30 minutes. It was really cute. Now I ask her about her day and I get a one word answer- "fine." Boy do I miss those days when she was talkative.
