He also loved to watch WWE wrestling with his daddy. His favorite characters and toys were Mickey Mouse, Elmo, monkeys, trains, and hot wheels. He had a collection of over 100 hot wheels given to him by family and friends. His favorite colors were hot pink, purple, and red. Steven recently mastered walking after monkey walking. He enjoyed watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Elmo’s World, and Jane & The Dragon. His favorite foods were multi-grain cheerios, strawberry yogurt, and whatever his mom and dad were eating.
