The Superhero, The Blower, and The Flailing Sleeper

We didn't do much over the weekend but Drake always keeps it lively around here. Mimi and Papa gave this cape and mask to Drake for Christmas. He didn't really have any interest in it when he got but now oh you better be scared. The roaring super hero is out in full force everyday.



We cleaned out our garage on Saturday and Drake was all hands on deck. He especially loved the job of being the "blower."

Sunday came around and this year we have the dreaded one o'clock church which means no nap and we don't get home until around 4:30pm and by then it is way to late to have a nap. But that also means the lion comes out of Drake which no one wants to see or let's be honest be around. For example... Jordan was trying to undress Drake out of his church clothes yesterday, at the same I was also changing, and I just hear Drake crying and struggling alot. So I go in to see what the heck was going on and I see this flailing monster whom Jordan is trying to calm down. He didn't want his shirt off or tie, which is ironic because he hates wearing his tie, he didn't want his shoes taken off or his diaper changed...I mean just flailing himself every where, we were at a loss. It was almost quite comical because we knew he was so tired that he was basically delirious by now. The solution...offering his Elmo t-shirt and to watch Elmo with his blanket and pacifier on our bed. DONE. Jordan went to check on him about 10 minutes later and the poor guy was fast asleep. Keep in mind Drake has never fallen asleep any where but his carseat or his bed, once or twice in a stroller, but other than that he holds out. Not this time. I hope this isn't a glimpse to what every Sunday is going to be like for the rest of the year!
