One of my favorite pictures.

A fan of The Adventures of Bitty Man remarked that I seemed to be taking Bitty's 2nd Birthday pretty hard. It's not that I wish he was a 'baby' again -- with every age I've always thought, "Wow, this is the BEST age" and it's still true. I love having a 23 1/2 month old. Bitty amazes and entertains me on an hourly basis. But I am shocked at how fast time has flown by. I don't understand how my little baby, who just yesterday (or so it seems) relied on me to meet his every basic need, today at lunch commanded, "Mama, not peanut butter. Peanut butter AND jelly AND pudding treat!"

So forgive a hormonal Mama as she enjoys remembering the road once traveled.
