James absolutely loved it! He watches it pretty frequently on tv with his dad in the evenings. He hated when they would stop to switch events. They had Quad racing in between the monster trucks and I think he liked those even better! He had the hugest smile on his face most of the time. I sat in handicapped seating with him, while Andy and Elliot sat a few rows behind us. There was a couple next to us in handicapped seating and they couldn't stop commenting on how much he loved it! Of course we needed to protect his ears from all that loud noise. Although James has hearing loss he can still hear some things and we want to protect his little ears from any more damage that could occur. Wouldn't you know he hated the ear plugs! I tried a coupl different sizes among other things and he just didn't like them. I resorted to taking his hearing aides apart and just using the mold part of them (the part in his ear). I'm not sure how much they helped though because there are holes in the molds to allow for the sound from the amplifier to go through. It must not have been too bad because he didn't seem bothered by the noise. All in all we did good. We didn't have too many difficulties getting around with James' chair and the kids were in a pretty good mood considering it was naptime. Hopefully next year we can go again!
