Toddler Snapshot - Xavier, Age 4

What a summer it has been!  Xavier is learning so much at his new pre-school and we are keeping him active in gymnastics (his favorite that he asks if we are going to every day), tennis, and t-ball practices.  He's still got the most charming personality and is always looking forward to what we are doing next.  He keeps track of events and lists them off in order that we are about to do them.  He definitely seems to enjoy being on a schedule.  He loves monster trucks and fidget spinners and cannot ever have enough.  He is always the life of every gathering of kids.  And he routinely asks us if we can go around the neighborhood to find kids to play with.  Such a social boy!



His favorite foods are waffles, Nilla wafers (he calls them sugar cookies), baby carrots, and he is very adamate about taking his daily vitamins.  He is so excited for his new baby sister to come out and I'm sure he'll be the sweetest big brother to her.  He's always so careful not to hurt my belly.  Xavier is an early riser (6:30 on Saturdays!!) and cannot wait to get his day started. Before going to the babysitter's house, he'll try to sneak toy cars in his pockets or his backpack, but we know to check now.  He's doing so well holding his pencil and enjoys tracing his hand.  He still is the most willful child, always pushing the limits and testing us for just one more piece of candy or two more stories, but we wouldn't have it any other way.  His personality is so entertaining to us.  He is my favorite little sidekick!
