Meet Tyler, This Week's Thursday's Child

Four year old Tyler will make any adult want to be a kid again.

He's excited about everything...and loves sharing his enthusiasm with those around.

Joy Hollowell learned that first hand when she met up with Tyler at the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor.

Like most 4-year olds, Tyler is full of curiosity...and he isn't afraid to go looking for answers.

"Does this thing go here?"

"How do these turn off?"

"Why is there a bathroom attached to it?"

That question I couldn't answer, but I could tell Tyler was having a lot of fun at the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor.

He told me he'd never been here before, so this four year old didn't waste any time checking out the numerous exhibits.

"Taivo, sun."

Tyler especially enjoyed the restaurant play area...

"Plates on table"

He was the server and I was the customer.

"Oh, can I get pepperoni on that?

Pepperoni.

Milk.

We got chocolate milk.

Yeah, chocolate milk, definitely."

This adorable young man says he's getting very excited for Christmas.

"If you could ask Santa to bring you just one thing, what would it be?

A fire truck."

Tyler also knows a few Christmas songs. Like this classic-

"Jingle bells, jingle bells, open sleigh, eh hey."

And just when I thought this little guy couldn't warm my heart anymore...he sang his favorite Christmas carol for me.

"I know, you get what you get, and you don't throw a fit.

==========
Meet adorable Tyler! Born in March 2005, Tyler is a sweet, kind hearted boy who is waiting for his forever family. Those who know him best say that he is a very smart little boy who strives to make people happy and do the right thing.

Tyler is very musical! He loves to sing and dance. He even makes up his own songs and sings them while he is playing around the house. He likes to sit at the piano in his current home and make up songs as well. A family that would be able to allow him to continue his love of music and help him develop those skills would be a good match for him.

Tyler also likes to play outside. He spend lots of time in his sandbox in the summer months , as well as playing with his Match Box cars, riding his bike, and play sports. While inside, Tyler will often color and draw. He is currently in daycare and does really well in that environment. He is learning to write words, but has already learned how to write his own name!
