Winter Days

1/31/10
Clayton, you made a crown at Sunday School this morning and wore it proudly home. Your hat says “Jesus Loves Clayton” and is adorned in jewels stickers. I was overjoyed that you were wearing your little hat and smiling proudly. Right on, buddy, I thought to myself - Jesus does love you and you are the most special little boy ever! You were absolutely darling when you told your Sunday School teachers “bye, bye and thank you.” Later today we went to Winterfest in Coralville - and we looked at the train exhibit in the car museum. You were in heaven watching all the trains with Daddy! They also had a horse drawn carriage - you liked looking at the Belgium horses from afar, but got upset when I tried to take you up close to them. They were very big! You and I went inside a tee-pee set up outside and you had so much fun playing in there. Later, we came home and you and Gracie were so cute cuddling and wrestling on the couch. Right now Daddy is upstairs tucking you in to sleep in your race car bed. Your night time routine consists of brushing your teeth, putting on pj’s, putting your clothes in the hamper, reading a few books, singing a song, saying prayers, asking for a puppet show and for us to make up a story with “Clayton” in it, and us snuggling with you. You are pretty picky about having your Thomas blankie covering you up, and if it is in the washing machine you get upset. You are very attached to your Thomas blanket.
