Learning Daddy's tricks

New vocab word included in this post: Gar Gar = (n.) one of Ty's favorite new made-up words.

Saturday morning Ty decided that 5am was a great time to wake up for the day. Jeff and I quickly brought him down to our bed with hopes that the lingering darkness outside would encourage him to go back to sleep.

Although Ty laid down, he wouldn't stop talking. We told him over and over again that it was time to sleep. I think he could tell that we were getting a little annoyed because he decided to pull out one of his Daddy's tricks--when you're about to get in trouble, try to make your parents laugh. After another admonishment from us that it was way too early to get up, Ty put his face about 1 inch from mine and said "How do you spell Gar Gar?"
