Mikey is a respectful child. He likes to be in the home playing video games, but he will go outside when encouraged to do so. While outdoors, Mikey can often be found competing in a game of football, paintball, or fishing. Mikey enjoys going to school and gets along well with his peers. He is involved in his school's band and plays the trumpet. Mikey likes all types of animals and does well with dogs. Mikey will be a great addition to a loving and forever family.
