Talon in his spare time

Talon spends his spare time listening to books on cds and swinging on a rope swing in the front yard. He has listened to over the past couple of years: The Harry Potter series, The Charlie Bones series, The Fablehaven series, The 13th Reality series, Fairest, The Alchemyst, Magyk and is currently listening to Flyte. His Grandma got him an MP3 player for his birthday last August and has loved it to it's fullest. He has been through 3-4 pairs of earphones. Thank goodness for Walmart. (By the way, Jileigh is the one who filmed this and is the one talking.)

Talon is really enjoying 11 year old new scouts. Matt is his leader as well. That really helps.

Talon is doing pretty well is school. The school district has an internet program called Power School where we can go see all of their class assignments and grades. The schools each have their own website where each teacher has a calendar. Only 1 of his teachers keep up on his calendar. These sites have been a life saver in trying to keep Talon caught up with his classes and grades. In PE, the kids have to run the mile every Monday. Talon's fastest time is 7 minutes and 15 seconds. He started the year out running the mile in just over 10 minutes. It has been fun to watch his improvement.
