Learn MoreBlaise says "when I am outside, I feel calm." It is a way for him to reconnect and ground himself when things like school and homework feel overwhelming. When in nature, he feels connected to the world around him.
Blaise loves all turtles. Especially Eastern Box Turtles and pond sliders. He loves that they carry their home, and have a built in defense system to protect them from predators. He loves counting them as we paddle down the river, and spotting them when we go for hikes in the woods.
Blaise loves everything related to rivers and creeks. We love going kayaking on the river a few miles from our house, and wading in the creek that flows through our neighborhood. Any time he has a chance to be near the water, he takes it.
