Dylan loves Playstation 2, Gameboy, Yu-Gi-Oh and Pokemon cards and is a huge fan of the actress Angelina Jolie. Actually that’s an understatement, he adores Angelina so much that he has made her his Ultimate chicky babe and collects pictures of her! Dylan loves all types of cars, racing cars, sports cars and Mustangs are his favorite. Dylan collects precious stones and Crystals and enjoys art lessons. Dylan likes Chinese food and his favorite color is blue. He also enjoys doing puzzles and loves listening to his ipod music! Dylan most recently has started playing with Heroscape and spends hours playing with it. Dylan absolutely loves his big brother Cain who is 12 years old and Dylan also loves animals. Dylan's favorite movies include: Spy Kids, Ice Age, Twister, War of the Worlds, Fast & the Furious, Gone in 60 seconds, Scooby Doo cartoons, True Lies, Dukes of Hazzard, Pokemon, Kangaroo Jack, Naruto & Crazy Frog. Lately Dylan loves to ride his Razor scooter and of course his favorite past time is to sing Karaoke!

Dylan has an amazing personality and anyone who spends five minutes with him, is totally in love with him. He has a great sense of humor and gets many adults in fits of laughter whenever they engage in conversation with him. Even people that don’t know him strike up a relationship with him that continues through letters and phone calls from the other side of the world. Dylan has enchanting eyes, they are so expressive and you can tell his emotion just by looking at them.

Dylan misses his Nana (Grandma) terribly while he continues his fight against cancer in New York City, but he knows why we need to be in America and he makes the most of everyday. When Dylan grows up, he wants to be a chef and cook pancakes for his brother Cain. The things Dylan says he misses the most about Australia (apart from family & friends) is Chinese from a particular store, going to Frankston on the bus with Nana, Red Rooster cheesy nuggets, Dim Sims from the fish n chip shop, going to the football and playing with his best friend Jordan. Throughout all of Dylan’s treatment, he has never complained. We have always been honest with Dylan and he has been a part of all our decision making. The courage that this little boy has is incredible, he never ceases to amaze me.
