The story here...

For the last few days Ryan has had night flights, where he will get in around 3am and (attempt to) sleep until 11am or so. The first day, I was able to keep our door shut and Gavin had no clue that Daddy was home, sleeping behind that door. Sadly for Ryan, the "cat was outta the bag" fairly quickly... So the rest of this week, about 20-30 minutes after Gavin wakes up, he's knocking on our bedroom door. As I am sure all you Moms & Dads can relate, your giggling toddler is kinda hard to resist - especially for Ryan, as his schedule hasn't coordinated well with Gavin's wake times.

All that to say, this is why Ryan is wearing his night shade (and no shirt)!

Gavin on the other hand, started to insist on "No Mommies aloud when Daddy is around." Which might hurt my feelings usually, except that I can totally relate to how precious time with Daddy is. Occasionally, we will love on each other in front of Gavin for 2 reasons - 1. Because we've read some theories and understand the importance of showing affection in front of your little one(s). And 2. Because teasing a toddler can be fun :).
So, as I was coming in a little too close for comfort with the camera, Gavin gave the "Stop right there Mommy" signal just as I snapped the shutter...

For whatever reason, this photo totally cracks me up :)
