Wednesday's Child: 5-year-old Xaven

Xaven is a curious and affectionate child who brings joy to those around him. 

He loves to sing and often expresses himself through music and sound. 

Xaven enjoys playing with his toys, especially those that make noises, as they capture his attention and spark his curiosity. He also likes playing with cars and trucks, spending time exploring how they move and interact. 

When it's time to relax, Xaven enjoys watching TV, with Cocomelon being his favorite show. He would thrive in a nurturing and patient family who enjoys engaging with him through play, music, and everyday moments. 

With love, consistency, and encouragement, Xaven has so much happiness and affection to share with a family ready to welcome him.
