Xavier's Song Book -- the Fortier Edition

Remember how I told you that my mom made up songs about everyone I love? Well, here are the songs she made up about the Fortiers:

Doug aka Uncle Nerd:
Un-cle Nerd, Un-cle Nerd
Oh my word how I love my Uncle Nerd.
Un-cle Nerd, Un-cle Nerd
He's superman and he flies like a bird.

Nancy aka Granny Nanny:
Granny Nan-ny Granny Nan-ny
Her name's not Annie
She has a nice fanny.
Granny Nan-ny, Granny Nan-ny
The way she loves me is just uncanny.

Jeff aka Jeff the Chef:
My friend Jeff is a really good chef.
He's not schleppy;
I like to call him Jeppy.

Brad aka Bad Brad:
His name is Brad,
and he is bad.
He never makes me sad,
and for this I'm glad.

Lindsay aka Torte:
Do you know Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay?
Do you know Lindsay, Lindsay, Linds?
She doesn't have warts.
She's never out of sort.
I love her a lot so I call her Torte.
Do you know Lindsay, Lindsay, Lindsay
Do you know Lindsay, LIndsay, Linds?

Xavier's Song Book

When I was little -- much younger than I am now -- my mom started making up songs about the people I love. We have a lot of songs now! Here are some of them:

Papa:
Pa-pa Pa-pa Pa-pa
Oh I love love love my Papa
Yes I love love love him true
Oh I love love love my Papa
And I know he loves me too!

GG:
G G G G
G G G G
G G G G G G G G G G
Her name is GG, and it's easy to see
her specialty is loving me.
G G G G
G G G G
G G G G G G G G G G

Uncle Butch:
Abu Abu Abu I love you
Abu Abu Abu how do you do?
Abu Abu Abu I love you
Oh Abu Abu Abu, hope you love me too.

Uncle Josh:
Uncle Gosh, Uncle Gosh
On my gosh how I love my Uncle Gosh.
Uncle Gosh Uncle Gosh
No, not posh, but my uncle, Uncle Gosh

I ask my mom to sing these all the time. It helps me remember everyone I love.

One Busy Weekend

Hello everyone. How are you? I had a crazy weekend, and I want to tell you about it.

On Saturday morning my mom took me to swim class. I started out having fun, but then I decided I didn't want to kick, paddle, jump in or blow bubbles. I still had a good time, but I wanted to do my own thing.

On Saturday night, Papa, Uncle Gosh, Mommie and I went to the Pistons' game. The Pistons lost, but I had fun. When they announce the players they have fire and a big boom. I told my mom that the fire was ok, but as for the big boom "I no like that." I also kept telling my mom "I want do that" because I wanted to play on the court like the Pistons.

On Sunday, Papa, GG, Mommie and I went to see a live production of Good Night Moon and the Runaway Bunny. It was cool, someone read the story while puppeteers acted it out. They were so good, I forgot that the puppets weren't moving on their own.

Finally, I watched some football on Sunday evening. You know how much I love that.

Hey Keith -- how about those Steelers?

Christmas on New Year's Eve and Food and Football on New Year's Day!

You read that correctly, I had Christmas on New Year's Eve. My mom and I went to the McKnights' house to celebrate Christmas on New Year's Eve. I had a lot of fun playing with Evan and Megan. Evan has this cool bike that hooks up to the TV, and Megan has a really cool pink bike. It was like bike heaven! We exchanged gifts -- I got some Clipo blocks and something to carry my LeapFrog in! We didn't think Jennifer was going to make it, but she did! She got me an Elmo farm playset for my birthday and a t-shirt from Disney with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and Pluto on it. When I saw it I said "Yea Mickey! Yea Minnine! Yea Donald! Yea Goopy!" I didn't give Pluto a "yea." Hope that didn't hurt his feelings. I played so much that I fell asleep on the way home.

On New Year's Day I wore my doggie pajamas up to Granny Nanny's because Granny Nanny has the same ones. Every New Year's Day, the Fortiers watch football and eat food. It was awesome! I had pop-tarts aka "pop tarcs," cheez-its, macaroni and cheese, and a drink box. I had a lot of fun up there -- like always.

My NBA Rookie Card

Here it is! My rookie card!

Christmas Day

My Christmas was awesome -- how was yours? I got so much stuff I can't even remember it all. I got a phone and some animals and Elmo Live. I got some clothes so I can stay the best dressed kid in Midland. I got Kung Fu Panda on DVD. I think my favorite gift so far is the basketball hoop. It adjusts all the way up to 6 feet! I love to "shoop" baskets. I'm pretty good at it too. I even play defense -- I run forward and then I run backwards and shuffle my feet -- just like Papa showed me.

On Christmas the Fortier and Laura came over to eat dinner. We had a really good time. I sat in the kitchen with the ladies (because I'm a ladies' man). The Fortiers gave me great gifts. I got a piggy bank with my name on it, and I got a football and basketball. Bad Brad, Jeppy, Lindsay and Laura got me a Michigan outfit and a Tigers outfit. That night everyone except me and GG went to the movies. WHen they got home at midnight, I was still up! I had a lot of energy that day, I guess.

All in all, it was a great Christmas.

Christmas 08 in Review

Deeeee-troit Back-et ball

For Christmas we bought Papa tickets for everyone to go the Pistons game! We went on December 26, and it was a lot of fun! The only part I didn't like was the big boom in the beginning when they are announcing the players. On the second boom, I jumped and my mom spilled my hot dog and chips on the guy in front of us. We're lucky I didn't have ketchup on it (and so is that guy!).

I had a lot of fun cheering for the Pistons, and they beat the other team. During half time, my mom and Uncle Butch took me to a place where I could try on a real Pistons uniform. Those guys are huge. I have a picture of it somewhere -- actually Uncle Butch has a picture of it somewhere. As soon as I get, I'll post it here for you to check out. It might be worth money someday -- like it's my rookie card or something.
