This is one of my favorite kids at the school. He's always got this mischevious grin on his face, like he has some hidden plan full of trouble.
Doesn't he look like a Lost Boy?! That's what I think. His hair is kinda pointy and messy and his shoes are always untied. he usually wears these cut off pants and a mesh ragged top and he looks just like he could have walked off the set of Peter Pan.
I guess it's more the idea of the Lost Boys and Neverland that makes him fit there in my mind. The idea that they would never have to grow up and that he could play all day and run around with wooden swords, capturing pirates, and saving indian princesses. Sounds a lot better than the reality that these kids live everyday, with little to eat and not much parental attention.
But that's why i love the school. The C.I.D.T. is a place where they can come and be kids. They run around and play on the swing set. They have their friends and little clicks just like any other school. They eat snacks and color and paint and pretend and just play. And better yet they learn. So maybe there's no pixie dust to carry them away or a tinkerbell to grant them all their wildest dreams and fairytales, but i think that the school here and the things it is doing to enrich their lives is pretty close.
