Introduction

I'm Kai!

My name is Kai! I am six year's old and just started first grade. My mom says I am a very special kid! I am different than other kids my age, but similar to them also. I really like to ride my bike and my horse, listen to music, read books, spend time with friends and go to school. I also have cerebral palsy (CP). Lots of people have CP. I do not walk or talk like most people, but am learning ways to overcome this challenge.

Let me tell you about my family. I live with my Mom, Dad, brother and sister. I am a new resident of S. Chatham, MA, but spent my younger years in California..  Here they are:

Getting a ride on Dad

This is my Dad. He is a Senior Chief in the US Coast Guard. We move around for his job. He REALLY likes boats! He has a lighthouse at his new station in Chatham.

Hangin' with Mom on the beach

This is my Mom. She stays at home with us but is also a teacher and curriculum/assessment specialist. She works from home part-time. She likes to exercise and do fun stuff with our family.

Trouble!

This is my brother and sister. Liam is 4. He is a little wild, but lots of fun. I like to watch him get into trouble!
Addy (Addison) is 2. She is my best friend (I know because she tells me all the time!). She is a character and likes to snuggle with me when we watch TV.




My Auntie Erin started a blog for me when I was just a couple of days old because I had to spend some time in the hospital. We kept that blog going for 4 whole years, until my mom had too many kids to chase around! Now, she says we have more time to write all about my life. Here is the archive of my old blog. It will give you a lot of background about the beginning of my life, which was a bit tumultuous. Please ask me any questions! I am happy to answer anything on your mind about CP (cerebral palsy) or what it is like being me!
