Receive Text UpdatesCharles loves hiking, exploring, and always notices small details and animals that most people don’t typically take notice of. His greatest joy is finding an animal and identifying it. If it’s new to him, he has a very inquisitive mind to learn everything he can about it.
That’s a difficult question because he’s obsessed with all of them. Dinosaurs have always been top tier (because who doesn’t like dinosaurs), but elephants & giraffes are certainly close behind. Charles is autistic, so he’s unable to verbally express his “why”. He’s a very intelligent, compassionate, and rambunctious young boy, who enjoys learning about, understanding, and even re-enacting animal behavior.
Charles loves walking/hiking, exploring, playing outdoors, swimming, baseball, helping with outdoor chores and activities. He loves taking care of our chickens/ducks and making sure they’re okay and have everything they need. He also loves playing outdoors with our dogs, Bernadette & Trooper.
