He is shy when he's first meeting you, but is very fun and silly when he's comfortable. Ashley loves how kind he is and remembers when they were playing Candy Land he would start over after he made it to the end so Ashley didn't have to lose the game, even when she drew the candy cane card twice and had to go back to nearly the beginning. He is a kind, thoughtful, smart boy and everyone who knows him loves him. He enjoys his hip-hop dance class and soccer.
