We can't believe our baby boy is 16! He practiced driving for a year with Wayne and then really practiced hard the week before his birthday so he could pass his road test. We went to the Carrollton Mega Center DPS over and over to practice parallel parking and driving around the neighborhoods there. We wanted him to be really familiar with the area for the test. He did great. That night though, I was looking at his appointment details to make sure I had the time right. That's when I realized I made the appointment at the wrong location! It was in old plano instead of the carrollton DPS. I was so mad at myself but we decided not to tell Nathan so that he didn't worry about it and got a good night's sleep. The next morning was a Monday morning. Wayne told him that morning but said he was fine with it, thank goodness. I kept checking my phone that morning to see if he passed. Wayne and Nathan called me when I was at recess and said he passed! That night Nathan told me that the roads in that area were so bad with potholes! But he did it! On his actual birthday which was the night before his driving test, he asked for a sushi lunch and a strawberry, banana, and nutella crepe.
Nathan's birthday party was the weekend before. He invited about 15 boys over! They pretty much stayed outside the whole time and swam, played ping pong, ate, and laughed and laughed!!! There was a big boxing match on that night with Jake Paul. It was $60 to buy but Daddy made it happen. They loved it! And his friends gave him so many nice gifts; mainly cash and gift cards! One friend gave him $100 and said it was for gas money taking him out.
I also repainted his room to make it more "grown up." I swear Nathan is so easy! He just wanted the room a dark gray, wanted a new comforter which he picked out at Target in about 2 minutes, and a small chair :)
