I enjoy being out in nature, visit a trampoline park and indoor play areas, and going to fun places like fun fairs and Folly Farm. I am very active and always on the move. I love to jump and run around and be silly at time. I can be frustrated and upset with loud noises or not being able to do something I’d like to do.
