I am loving this stage of the game with Clayton. He is mature, responsible and eager to please. I can tell we are on the brink of that "I can make my own choices" back-talking phase so I want to savor every moment while I still can! Clayton's strength of will has always been a challenge, but now we are seeing that being shaped into a self-challenge and motivation to excel in all he does! His teacher says he is doing wonderfully academically and that she is so proud of him - we are, too!! Clayton learns from his mistakes and strives to be better. He follows directions well and I can really trust him - thank goodness he is the oldest! He is still very independent and loves his "me time" more than anything else! The hardest ajdustment to school has been being gone all day and having less down/play time to himself at home.
We love you buddy!
Here are some pictures I wanted to share:
