All About Clayton

Recently, I've gotten alot of messages through Facebook about Emma being my "favorite" child....so not true. Anyone who is a parent knows that you don't have a favorite - you love them the same amount equally. However, there are different things that I love about each of them that doesn't necessarily pertain to the other. Emma is a handful, while cute as a button. Clayton is ultra laidback, a parent's dream. I could have a week's worth the posts outlining their differences!
