Cosette Nicole

Cosette loves to read...and to eat. Cosette is my big sister and she is 15 years old now,
'cause we just had her birthday party at Nana's house. She is a really great big sister and 
tries to help take care of me and Aja - even though we make it hard on her sometimes.

Cosette loves animals, but because we are allergic (even her) we can't have any dogs or 
cats for pets, but she has fish and hermit crabs! I think she wants to rescue animals when 
she is older - like a pet rescue. Maybe like Diego and Dora. She reads a lot of books about
animals. She likes to golf and is really good at it.

Cosette is PDD/NOS and BiPolar. She takes even more meds than I do. PDD/NOS means 
Pervasive Development Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified, which is on the Autism Spectrum 
- right between Autism and Aspergers. She also has some sensory integration problems, like 
Aja, and goes to Occupational Therapy with Berit Miller from Western Michigan University. 
She was diagnosed at Western's Autism Clinic, and Mommy and Daddy went to classes there 
to learn to teach her things. She is attending the Greenman Homeschool Academy. I go to 
school there, too! Mommy got me a backpack and everything!
