Carrie Underwood's two young sons Isaiah, who's five, and Jacob, who is almost two, are pretty different.

Carrie told us of Isaiah, "He was always a cuddler. He always wanted you to be holding him or sitting in your lap or 'Please sleep with me.' We had like a really rough time where he was just coming coming into our room every single night at like two o'clock in the morning."

She says of her younger son Jake, "He is the opposite. He has always been like, 'No, put me down, leave me alone. You're in my way.' So he might be a little more independent. He's definitely my kind of rough and tumble kind of a bull in a china shop kid."

Underwood adds of her rambunctious one, "He thinks he's being funny, that's when he's going to do the naughty stuff. You can't laugh at him but it's the hardest thing in the world not to laugh at him. He just seems to be a little wilder."

Carrie released a video of she and her son Isaiah singing "Little Drummer Boy" together on his new My Gift Christmas album.
