Meet Peter, a smart and fun-loving boy who isn’t afraid to get dirty! Whether it’s creating abstract art using water balloons and drip techniques or tending to his radishes in his garden, Peter likes to be fully involved in every activity.

Peter is inquisitive and likes to learn new things. He equally enjoys going to school and the library where he enjoys reading a variety of books, including his favorite Pete the Cat because they share the same name. He says his idea of a perfect day includes a trip to the library and eating his favorite food – a bean and cheese burrito.

Peter does best with one-on-one interactions and gets along well with the adults in his life. He can be soft spoken at first, but forms deep bond with those he cares about. Peter would prefer to be an only child and is looking for a family that will spend quality time with him doing activities they both enjoy.
