Let the record show...

... that it all started when Ty was 4 (okay, almost 5, but still ;).

This morning, as usual, I picked out Ty's clothes.  I grabbed a pair of jeans, grey long sleeve waffle tee, and this nifty little sweater that I picked up during Old Navy's latest sale...

...that was argyle.

When I went to put it on Ty (now, why am I still dressing him?  I don't know... and probably fodder for another blog post), he stopped short before putting his arms in.

I said, "Ty, we need to hurry (the 8 o'clock start time has been misery for us, I tell ya), so please put your arms in".

Ty just shook his head.

Me (with total patience :0):  Seriously, Ty, we need to get going.  Please put your arms in.
Ty:  What's on that shirt?  I can't wear that.  The kids at school will laugh at me.
Me:  No they won't.  That's argyle.  It's cool.
Ty:  Nope.  They'll laugh.
Me:  Seriously, they won't laugh.
Ty:  How 'bout this.  Let's make a bet.  If you lose, then I get to play the wii... twice.

Me:  Sure.  (Whatever that means ;).

And guess what.  
They didn't laugh.  
And even better, Ty forgot we even had a bet. ;)

Here's the culprit...

The sweater... 
well, yeah, and the kid.

And while I had my camera out, I thought
"Let's try and get one of those really cool jumping shots that all these people take".

Great idea.
Just not so great w/ a 45 inch ~5 year old.

Here's a sampling of the majority of the shots.

That's kiiiinda what I was going for.

And many of them ended up like this.

 But I did get a few. ;)

And the one thing I want Ty to remember from this day is...

I WON!!! I WON!!!! I WON!!! ;)
