Bo is now 12. He is in 5th grade in New Orleans. 

Bo loves school- but these days homework is a struggle as it is with most 12 year old boys!

In November Bo, along with all of his cousins took a trip to Spain. No one could have expected how much he loved the adventure and traveled like a champ. He is already planning his next trip! 

Bo has always loved all things Disney Pixar, especially Toy Story and Cars, and has recently started to enjoy Legos. His time at home is spent creating incredible scenes using his beloved toy characters. 

It is really impressive and of course a large part of how he communicates with us.  Screen time for Bo is not about zoning out but rather he uses movies, videos, and characters to build upon his ability to express his thoughts and emotions.  

We are excited to try sailing this Spring and Bo is gearing up for summer.  He has attended several different camps geared toward children with developmental differences and these have proven to be Bo’s most favorite weeks of the year. As he gets older we are focused on developing independence and these camps do just that. 

Bo continues to be a joy to his parents and 4 siblings.
