All About Clayton

Kaylene tagged me with this and, while I don't normally do the whole 'tag' thing, I liked this one because it is all about Clayton!

Name and Meaning: Clayton Gilbert. We chose Clayton because it is my Grandpa Peterson's first name. My grandpa is one of the most hard working, honest, Christlike, family-centered guys I know. I have known since I was a teenager that I would name my first son after him (fortunately, Justin really liked the name too so it worked perfectly). Gilbert is a family name on Justin's side. Justin's great grandpa is Gilbert Warren Smith, his grandpa is Warren Gilbert Smith, his dad is Gilbert Warren Smith and Justin's middle name is Gilbert (they decided, thankfully, not to use Warren). Anyway, we knew that we were going to keep the name Gilbert in the family. Justin's dad loves to tell people how Clayton is a 5th generation Gilbert!

Age: 4, although when he wants to get away with stuff that Noah does he will tell you he's 2 and when he wants to do "grown-up" stuff he will tell you he's 7 (somehow he equates being 7 with being all grown up).

Nicknames: Claytanny, keekiss (that's how Noah pronounces it), bud, and Clayton Bayton

Favorite Activities: Playing outside and anything involved with parks, camping, and generally being outside, CARS CARS CARS (the movie, the toys, watching cars on the street, pretending he's a car, etc.), watching cartoons, going to school, playing with his 'boys' (he will ask me to take him to see his 'boys' - so funny), and playing with Noah (most of the time).

Favorite Foods: PB&J sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets, any kind of candy (he's soo healthy).

Least Favorite Foods: Fruits and veggies. I swear if it is red or green or yellow he puts up the biggest fight about eating it. I'm hoping he grows out of this because dinner is getting to be really long and contentious!

Favorite Music: Called to Serve (if you ask him, he'll tell you it's his favorite) and Life is a Highway by Rascall Flatts (from the movie Cars - what else)!

Favorite Toy: Any of his cars and his Leap Pad

Favorite Book: New Tricks I Can Do

Favorite Item of clothing: Probably his McQueen shirt (noticing a pattern here), but he really doesn't care about his clothes - typical guy. Whenever I ask him to choose his own clothes, he tells me that he'll just stay in his pajamas.

What makes him Happy: Playing with Noah when Noah is doing what Clayton wants, watching Cars, playing outside, going to school, seeing his friends (girls and boys), seeing Justin when he comes home at the end of the day, getting hugs and being complimented.

What makes him Sad: When Noah doesn't play the way Clayton wants, being picked up from school (yes, he still cries), being told that he has to eat fruits and veggies, when company leaves the house.
