Today, Gideon and I parked a few blocks away and walked to pick Xavier up. I'll probably start picking him up this way, so that we don't have to wait in that car line and it gives us a bit more exercise.
When Gideon and I got to the cafeteria, Miss. Keiser (sorry, if I spelled your name wrong) called out Xavier's name and he came running to us. Gideon ripped from my hand, they met in the middle, and gave each other a big hug. Then I walked over and asked Miss Keiser question about picking X up by walking. Xavier then asked if he could take Gideon and show all his friends. I said sure. So X grabbed G by the hand and led him to a few different kids stating that "This is my wittle brover".
While he was introducing G, Miss Holt said that Xavier is so cute when she is trying to explain things to him. His inquisitive facial expressions are great (maybe not her exact words but close enough). I asked if he was doing ok, and she said he was doing wonderful. I looked over and I saw a little blonde girl that Xavier was introducing Gideon to, who said, "OOOOH He is sooooo cute."

Our conversation on the way to the car.
Me: "Yes"
X: "That's ________. She's my best friend."
Me: "Best friend, huh?"
Me: "Best friend, huh?"
X: "Yup"
Me: "OK"
X: "She's cute, huh?
Then later:
"There is this person who is not in my class. A little girl, asked me how old I was. I said, but first, How old are you? She said she was 5." Xavier put his hand on his hips, got this smug look and said "I said that I was 6 and she went...." He dropped his jaw in this puzzling surprised look, mimicking the girls reaction. " and then there was this other little boy who said he was 6 too!"
While I type this up, Xavier is over there playing with Gideon. He jumps up ecstatically and yells, "Usually when we are singing Mr. M. I am doing drums or guitar!" and he does his strange Mick Jagger-esque dance/air guitar impression.... HA!. There's an visual impression for ya!.
He didn't really want to share anything else today. So, I left it at that. But apparently the most important thing he did learn today was the "exploding fist bump". Which he, in turn, showed his brother.
