All about Clayton!

Clayton he is the sweetest boy ever, but is the one who keeps me on my toes for sure! He is a big help but sometimes is the one who frustrates me the most. Lately he has had to learn about patience and sharing his time. Going from the only child to having two brothers then a little while later adding his princess into the picture. Don't forget Clayton was begging for a baby sister way before we even thought about having another baby. I don't think he realized the changes it would make.

Its been hard trying to make one on one time with him lately and we have seen that hes been needing some time for just Mommy & Daddy time and NO little siblings included. We have decided to surprise him and take him on a mini vacation. No, he doesn't know a thing. I plan to pack his bag and hide it in the car without him knowing. We are taking him to the Wisconsin dells in less then 2 weeks. He won't find out until we get there. We can't wait to surprise him, even though just the other day he said he doesn't ever want to leave his siblings and go away from them even for a sleepover. Hopefully he will think differently once we get there!

For awhile now Clayton has been sleeping in our room on the floor. Yes, he loves the floor more then a bed. We have been trying to get him in his own room for awhile..We decorated his room and changed it up and that didnt work. We moved him into the twins room so he would not be alone that didnt work. We tried many different things. Two days ago Brock & I decided enough is enough and he needs to learn. The first night was horrible, lots of tears and waking us up in the middle of the night. Last night  was the 2nd night, there were a few tears but he calmed down and fell right to sleep and stayed in there all night! Hoping we are having a break through. Except he keeps asking to sleep on the floor in his room.. Why kid? The floor? I just don't get it. Two nights of him sleeping in his bed in his brothers room hopefully means this will stick right?

Lots of people have asked what we will be doing for his schooling this coming school year. To be honest we are NOT sure. Part of us wants to send him to school, but yet we would love to teach him here at home. I am in the process of looking up this online K5 program to see what that has to offer.
Trying to figure out whats best for him & us.

Thanks for falling my blog and hopefully now that we are getting back into our routine I will be able to blog more..
