This morning Charlie wanted to come upstairs with me which would require him getting over the baby gate at the bottom. He told me he would just do it like the brothers and climb over the top. Can you imagine? I lifted him over instead. Of course, he protested saying that Isaac and Theron climb over themselves. I said, "Well, Isaac and Theron are taller than you."He replied back matter-of-factly, "I wear underwear." Oh! Well that changes everything. Here, why don't you just take the keys to the car, too, now that you are wearing big boy underwear. I can just see some teenage alcohol drinker explaining to the officer who asks for their license, "Oh, well officer I don't have an ID but I am wearing big boy underwear now."

You got me. I laughed and then I laughed some more after a short pause once I started thinking about his justification. And I will probably chuckle all week while I'm doing monotonous chores around the house and the image of Charlie saying, "I wear underwear," is dancing in my head.
You guys make the most completely adorable boys!!
That is the funniest story, your comments about it made me laugh out loud. Charlie is so cute.
He is toooo cute and I'm missing him like crazy!! It reminds me of the time Adam had a friend over who was two years older than him (Adam was like 7 at the time). The friend just happened to open Adam's dresser drawers (one of which had underwear in it). Adam called to me in a panic and took me in the hall and said, "Mom, don't you think it's time I stared wearing boxers? (he was still in tightie whities) When I gave him a quizical look he responded, "Well, I am getting older, you know!" Boys are so funny!
Good to catch up on your life:) Glad you are home, walking:), and your boys are keeping your busy and entertained;) They are funny boys...
Big boy underwear means totally grown up!! He is looking so big now too though. Holy cow! Where did the time go?
Isn't it amazing how that is such a right of passage for kids?! Rachel just potty trained herself, and I think she thinks of almost every opportunity to tell me how proud she is of herself. :) I'm glad!
