Two weeks ago we were sitting in church, trying to keep the boys quiet and in their chairs. Drake was having a hard time sitting forward and preferred talking to our neighbors sitting behind us. He was giggling and making funny faces when out of the corner of my eye I saw him stick his hands down his pants. I turned to him just in time to see him pull his pair of green Thomas the Train underwear out of his pants and hold it high above his head, beaming, waving it like a flag to the people behind us like he was surrendering to save his life. My hands flew to my mouth and I started making a choking/stifled laughing noise, which was also being made by the family behind us. Drake leaned in to me and said, "Look mom! Like goofy does!". It was probably the greatest thing I have ever seen. I checked to make sure he hadn't magically removed the underwear he was wearing then hid the spare pair in the diaper bag.
I wish I had the whole thing on video.
Drake's been on a roll, saying things to surprise everyone. A few sayings from the last week:
While swimming in the pool with Mimi:
"Mimi, when we find the purple flowers we'll say, 'Ahoy purple flowers!"
Drake: "You smell like something."
Mimi: "Does it smell good, or does it smell bad?"
Drake: after taking another big whiff, "You smell like toast."
I gave Drake a dollar. He said "Mom! I need more dollars!" I asked why, he said "My birfdee is in Otember and I need to buy a cake!"......."a cake WITH candles!". Don't worry, I don't make my kids by their own birthday cakes - unless they want to - and I let them blow out birthday candles. He's making me feel like I've deprived him of this tradition for 3 years.
While ordering sandwiches at Kneaders Drake shouted from the back seat "Chicken nuggets and a number one!" I said "Drake, we are at a different place to eat". He replied, "Mom! Chicken nuggets and a 1 with extra sauce!". I may get fast food for lunch too often.
The other night we were at Johnny's softball game. Drake enjoyed shouting from the stands, "You MONSTER ROCK Dadda!" and "You can hit the ball I think!", but my favorite quote of the night came when he asked my dad to take him to the bathroom. Running to the potties he yelled, "Come on Pappa, we can DO this!!!" I picture him someday being a motivational speaker for Flomax.

Laughed...my...butt...off. Oh, Drakie. I can't wait to see that little guy!!
What a little comedian! You definitely have some cute ones. I am loving the swimmin gear.
ha ha ha! I LOVE THESE! He's hilarious. Wish i'd seen the whole underwear incident. I would've laughed my head off!
I can't stand that we don't get to see you guys. This post almost hurts.
Flomax, huh? I'm sold! Drake is so so so funny! He's seriously like what Maddox might be like if Maddox could talk like a grown-up! Maddox keeps doing things that just make me laugh, but so much of it involves his cave-man speak that I don't think anyone else would get it! ;) Does Drake watch Neverland Pirates (from the "Ahoy!" comment)? Maddox has started saying "Aaah, Coconuts!" everytime something doesn't go right for him, and it took me awhile to figure out where he was getting it from. We need to get these two together! Can Maddox come over to play with Drake in August? ;) I can't wait to see you guys!!!
Oh, and that underwear thing? That's like the unwrapping the starburst in your mouth and spitting out the wrapper --- but on STEROIDS! SO SO SO SO funny! I bet you are still torn between being proud and figuring out how to make him stop doing that before high school! ;) I have got to tell Milt about that. Maybe you could stage it and have him re-do it so you could make a mock film-up?
