All about K1...well almost

K1, what to say about this awesome child. I was so lucky that when I married J that I also got a terrific son! I will not go into detail aobut K1's other life (with his mom), but it has been a rocky road and a very unfair road. At one point in time K1 was left with us for almost 2 years but when his mom wanted him back the judge said yes. Terrible time. Heartbreaking time. Worst time of my life. J cried, he sobbed to be exact. It was unfair and it really made me question the integrity of our court system.



Anyway, K1, he is a fun loving kid. Always wants to be on the go doing something. He loves his 4 wheeler and wants to go a lot faster than I let him. He plays baseball in the summer and loves that. He deer and turkey hunts with J and always has a great time. He actually killed his first turkey this month. He also likes to go fishing, swimming, camping, really anything outside. He has loved to be outside since he was a smallfry.



K1's favorite food is tacos. He requests them everytime he is here. He also loves pizza and spaghetti. For breakfast he loves scrambled eggs (with ketchup) and toast. When he is with us he always wants "homemade food". That is his request. He doesn't get a lot of homemade food at his other house so that is what he wants here. When eating out he likes the chicken wraps (ranch and bbq) at McDonalds and he likes quesidillas at Taco Bell. He would rather eat chips and dip than eat sweets (gets that from his dad).



K1 has a lot of obstacles in his life. He of course has the obstacle of coming from a divorced home. But he also has ADHD (attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder) and ODD (oppositional defiance disorder). He is on a very high dose of medicine for ADHD. His mom doesn't make sure he gets it every day. She sends him here without it a lot! It is difficult but we keep him busy and life goes on. He is very behind in reading. He has no structure at his other home.



We want K1 to come live here and try our school for a year. We think things would get MUCH better! He is seriously considering it and I hope he chooses to do so. I don't want him to become another statistic. He is smart, he can overcome his setbacks.



K1 is one of my biggest blessings! Wouldn't know what to do without him.
