Creative October by Clayton

My little artist!  And we're thinking about moving him to a science magnet school.  Am I nuts?

Lego Man Blueprint

Here is a "blueprint" of Clay's lego toy that he built.

Clayton Speak

Clayton gets one of his matchbox cars and says, "it's a baseball car. It's a basketball car. It's a sports car."

Clayton Speak

I need to start writing down more of Clayton's quotes. Just now I was putting on his clothes and he says, " bite the bean."
I said, "what does that mean?"
He replies, "bite the bean on your plate."
I asked, "where did you get that idea?".
"From my voice." Of course.

Lately, he has been adding, "I told you" onto everything he says. For example, "I want some soy milk I told you." "I wanna watch a kids' show, I told you." He's quite demanding.

No School Monday- Lots of Snow!

Clayton Thomas the Train

We went out trick or treating with Clayton. I made the costume out of a liquor box, some cereal and cracker boxes, an oatmeal box, plastic container tops, electrical tape, ribbon, paper pulp for the face, ribbon and some gray fabric scraps.
He lasted a few houses, and then wanted to go home. So, he didn't get much candy. We weren't hurting for candy after all because I had bought a huge bag and we did not get one trick or treater at our place. Dangerous. Candy around the house. Not good.

Is that E.T.?

I forgot to photograph the final pumpkins, so stay tuned.

A Happy Kid

Clayton loves going to playgrounds and we've managed to try out most of the local ones that I know about. He never wants to leave!

Morning Out of the House

Clay and I went out for the morning to the Erie Canal Park and walked around, then to the thrift store and then to the playground. It's a rather warm day today. He's not afraid of swings anymore thanks to Grandpa Hallock who taught him the name on the swing while he was pushing him. Clayton always wants to know, "what's the name on there?"

Southwick Beach, Yippee

The day after we arrived in New York, we went up to Southwick Beach, on Lake Ontario with Grandma and Grandpa Hallock. We got to see our friend Wendy and her family. Matt wasn't in town yet. Clayton just loved the water!
