(Mommy is turning the keyboard and mouse over to Bitty for his very first post.)

Let The Countdown Begin!

They Say It's Your Birthday

May 13 is quickly approaching so for those of you wishing to shop for Bitty's birthday I've added some ideas to the sidebar. Bitty has a Wish List on Amazon ~ if you don't already have the link then just drop me an e-mail. (The link is not posted here out of privacy for Bittyman.)

Clothes (4T for shirts and pj's, 3T for shorts/swimsuits), games/puzzles and books are especially appreciated since our townhome is beginning to resemble a toy store.

(So what did Daddy already purchase for Bitty's birthday? A HUGE play workbench with tools. Oh well, early Toys R Us is the hottest decorating trend going, right?)

Sad But True

Mama: Bitty, what did you wish for?
Bitty: Mama, I wished for you!
Mama: Awww... what did you wish for Mama?
Bitty: I wished for you to be nice.

Happy Easter!

Bitty Soundbite

Bitty the 'Painter Guy'

This week we're celebrating 3 years of home ownership by finally painting the stairway and upstairs hallway. All that we have left to paint is the master bedroom and the entire house will be worthy of HGTV. (Design on a Dime anyway!) Then again, the first room we painted when we moved in was the nursery - and since we didn't find out Bitty's sex, we went with the gender neutral 'stars & moon' theme. Bitty recently noticed a very cool 'racing car' room in my Pottery Barn catalog so I think there will be another room makeover in the very near future.

Snowbitty

We packed up the minivan and headed up to the mountains for a few days so Bitty could finally experience snow! He proclaimed it 'slippery' and 'cold'. But he did enjoy making snowballs and playing 'snowplow guy' with his trucks. Bitty loved our cabin because it had a fireplace, jacuzzi tub and a DVD player so he could watch 'The Land Before Time' for the umpteenth time.
"I'm a snowplow guy!"

The Mess Song - An Original Composition

Vincent Van Bitty

For today's art project Mama broke out the water colors. (Daddy, your beat up old blue t-shirt is now a smock - hope you don't mind!) Bitty painted a beautiful pastel picture of a... dinosaur. He then finished his work with various Easter stickers. We're sending the picture to Aunt Mary in Italy for an Easter present.

Bitty LOVES art projects. Which is a challenge for Mama who is anything but artsy. (Painting a wall? No problem. Painting a picture? Forget about it.)

So if you're looking for some birthday gift ideas (the big '3' will be here before we all know it), craft supplies are a sure bet. Paints, crayons, markers, stickers, coloring books, play-doh - Bitty works in every medium!

Bitty's Must-See-TV

Thanks to Tivo, which records suggested television shows based on what shows you have recorded in the past, we've discovered a great new children's program on Nick, Jr.: The Wonder Pets. Bitty, literally, applauded the first episode.

Not that Bitty is allowed to watch much television - 'cause that would be a sign of bad parenting - but on holidays, rainy days, and days that end with a 'y' these are some of Bitty's favorites:
Jack's Big Music Show
Backyardigans
Little Einsteins

If you're not familiar with these programs (i.e. do not have a child under the age of 5), the common elements to these programs are 1) music and 2) animals. We predict Bitty will be a singing veterinarian.

The Week in Pictures

Bitty sure has been busy this past week. First, Grandpa Ellis came to visit (and work a trade show). Bitty loved playing with Grandpa and learning a lot of new phrases like, "Ooopsey, doopsey, doodle!"

The weather was gorgeous last weekend so we spent the day at a local park and spent time feeding the ducks.

Then Bitty, in his usual helpful self, helped Mama clean his room so Mama & Daddy's friend, Kerry, could stay there during her visit from England. Bitty had a 'lovely' time with his now proclaimed girlfriend, Miss Kerry.

Finally, Bitty was sooo excited to 'get ashed!' at Mass yesterday. Bitty has decided to give up peas and cooked carrots for Lent.

Bitty wanted me to take a picture of him and his 'friends': Bitty Kitty, Daddy Kitty, Chirp-Chirp, and Mama Kitty.

Photoblogging

Mama came down with the flu on Valentines Day so I haven't had the energy for blogging. Here are some pictures from our trip to Chuck E Cheese last Saturday. (Note to self: NEVER go to a germ pit like Chuck E Cheese during flu season!)

Bitty Thanks

Bitty would like to thank Miss Dee and Mr. Paul for having the whole family over to watch the Super Bowl (on their cool HDTV no less)! Bitty especially enjoyed the homemade pizza and pigs-in-a-blanket.

Mom and Dad would like to thank Miss Dee and Mr. Paul for wearing out Bitty Man ~ he fell asleep on the ride home and didn't wake up until this morning!

Bipartisan Fun

Bitty created a new game while Mama watched the State of the Union Address last night. The game is called, 'Uppie-Downey Clapping Game'. The title is self-explanatory!
