Wardrobe Malfunctions

My oldest son can be a bit of a goof.  Actually a lot of a goof.  He has pretty good pronounciation skills, yet likes to say words in strange and garbled way.  He can sing very nicely, but he likes to change the words to nonsense just for fun.  He knows what is normal, but he pretends to eat my rocking chair and tells me it tastes like yummy peppermint cookies.  One of the later additions to his goofiness is when he gets dressed in the morning - he likes to put his pants on upside-down.  Yeah, you've heard of pants inside-out or backwards, but apparently upside-down is possible as well!   
 My middle son is also a goof.  He might learn some of his behaviour from his big brother, but he's got his own unique brand of goofiness as well.  He can make the funniest facial expressions, and has been purposefully doing that from before he was a year old.  He likes to walk around the house with as many hats on as he can find and "walk" with his shoes on his hands.  He can stuff half a banana in his mouth and still want to add more, and he thinks it's funny to blow spit bubbles - and then try to kiss you (poor Aunt Dell!!).  I recently extracted a soy bean from his nose.  Yesterday, he fell asleep eating lunch, and then wouldn't sleep when I put him down for a nap.  He spent his nap-time undressing himself and removing everything from his crib - off came the sleepsack, pants, socks, and sweater, and they all got chucked onto the floor with his blanket, stuffed animals and soother.  No nap for him - and then he fell asleep at suppertime. 
We haven't yet seen the goofy side of our youngest son, but I'm sure it will manifest itself in due time.  He's got two little experts to learn from, of course, and to that he will add his own one-of-a-kind style of goofiness.  I'm looking forward (maybe with some trepidation?) to watching him discover a sense of humour.  He's already got a fantastic smile and a cheerful disposition, and I'm sure he will get into all kinds of hysterical trouble with his brothers as he gets older!

It's truly a treat to see the things that the boys are doing from day to day and in this small way we can 'grow-up' with them as little as we see them
