A little about myself:
I am an 8-year-old boy who loves doing things and going out. I am very active and people around me adore me. They tell me that I am very likeable and an endearing little boy. I love it when people give me one-to-one attention and keep me company.

I am very clever and curious about everything. I love talking to people but will need you to show me how to play and do things sometimes. I like routines and I need strong boundaries for me to feel safe.
