Colton is 16 1/2.
He is a sophomore.
Homeschool for this boy has been a challenge!
Normally, he is a very routine kiddo.
When you combine his diagnosis', routine is imperative.
He does have some main-stream classes, but he also has special ed classes and two "lab" classes, where he has the chance to do his work with an advisor and the special ed director.
Without that, he is struggling.
He also misses the social aspects of school.
I think a lot of kids feel this way.
The move has been such a blessing for him.
He has a backyard to go out and play in.
Mike bought some outdoor toys which he plays each day.
He also has his own room, which he keeps very tidy.
He has his own TV, too, so he can go in there and have Colton time.
He has been AMAZING with the dogs.
He is our biggest helper with Izzy and Gus, and is SO excited for Kaya to join our family today.
Our upcoming goals for Colton are to let him test for his driver's permit when things calm down, and to get him a job when things calm down.
He wants both of these things very much.
Colton is such a blessing to our family.
He is pure joy!!!
PURE JOY.
We sure love you Colt-a-bolt!
