Favorite Things: Watching Sesame Street, Barney, and movie video's. Walking with my walker. I miss riding the school tricycle so Mom is working on getting me one for my residential home.

Favorite Activities: I love to go for rides in the van, go for walks, do arts and crafts, play with my blocks, and watch TV. I also love going to Chuckie Cheese and playing with video games.

Share & Learn: My mom says that I've really matured the past 4 years. I have a nice smile and really like being on my own at my new home. I like the weekly visits from my family, too! I act more "grown up" now that I am living in my residential home. Life is good. I'm glad The Connecticut Institute of the Blind (CIB)came into my life. I'm a happy guy now! CIB was the answer to my mom's prayers and mine. I graduated from High School this year too, and kept my cap on during the ceremony!
