Poem for Xander's Birthday

He thinks his name is Buddy
Since we call him that so much
Cheeks are nice and chubby
His skin is kind of ruddy

Loves to play basketball
And draw on all the walls
Trips over his own fat feet
Is growing really tall

At night hates to go to bed
Routine of books & snuggles
Pitch black with white noise
Sing and stroke his head

He’s sweet to his little sister
Says, “baby’s sooo cute!”
Plays with her on the floor
And tells us that he loves her

Has a temper for a little tike
Tends to be a bit OCD
Repeats stop sign & Snake River
Or anything else he might like

Walked and talked real early
Especially for a boy
Copies his older sister
But is definitely not girly

Loves to make a mess with yogurt
Hits you, laughs, and runs away
Is shy but can be surprisingly bold
Cries giant tears when he gets hurt

Plays in the sink and gets everything wet
Says the Pledge of Allegiance
Sings, “lead me, guide me”
Knows his numbers and alphabet

I love this little boy
Being his daddy is a joy!
