Today Ty is the tiniest powerhouse of a 9-year-old. Tipping the scales at about 43 pounds, he can climb to the highest point of any room or structure faster than you can blink.

He’s impulsive and blissfully clueless about most of life but incredibly intuitive when it comes to emotions and people and will give you the shirt off his back…and you don’t even have to ask. He’s like a lab puppy who never stops moving or destroying, but no matter how mad you get at him (or how often), he’s always good for a snuggle and kiss.

  2. Wow, 7 years! Where does the time go?! He is such a joy to have in class at Bridges, I’m so thankful for the opportunity to tutor him! I love his sweet heart – you described him perfectly!
