Clayton the strong-willed child

That's our Claytie...
I came home for a quick lunch today and while I was eating, Clayton climbed up on the chair next to me and wrapped himself around my arm, hugging it very tightly.

Fishing for some extra reassurance I asked him "Aww, do you love me?!".

In typical Clayton fashion, he replied "Nah... I'm just tryin' to break ya arm".

We've decided Clayton must be what Dr James Dobson refers to as the "Strong-Willed Child". He presents a whole new set of challenges when disciplining a young boy - ones we haven't experienced while raising Eli. We bought Dr Dobson's book and Janene has set about reading it to hopefully learn some tricks for dealing with kids like Clayton.

He's the funniest kid, but becomes very dark when he's upset. He doesn't express affection that often, but is mostly a gentle boy.

That's just Clayton for ya!
