Kitty Cats with Swords?

My son adores cats and dogs. He goes nuts over them and loves to say "kitty cat" and "DOG" he yells dog it cracks me up. He can spot one anytime were in a car or out and about. I am allergic to cats so sadly we cannot get one but we do have a dog that he adores. He and the dog do a hop dance together that is super cute ( I am considering it for a funny video contest!)

We recently bought the Wii game Puss In Boots and he wont stop playing it. I know gasp hes only a toddler and I let him play video games but the boy loves it! The game is really easy to play we set it up for him and he makes Puss in Boots battle with other sword fighters. Its sooooo cute! He says "kitty cat" then wildly shakes the Wii remote all over the place. He even makes sure he puts on the wrist strap before he plays and will take it off set down the controller and clap when he does good. He makes me smile so much with his little personality.

He also realizes that Puss is wearing shoes. He points to the shoes on tv and says "shoes" and then "kitty cat" its super cute! So now his favorite game to play and constantly wants to play and will not share the remote is the Kitty Cats with Swords game Puss in Boot.

Making His List......No Not Santa

The other day my son wanted to see the Walmart Toy ad I was looking at. He has been very curious about the ads and list I have been making so he wanted to do it too. I gave him a crayon and told him to circle the stuff he wanted Santa to bring. He has no clue what Santa is but he knows crayons are fun to draw on stuff.

But he really did point to and draw on the things he likes. He babbled a bunch about the items to. It made me laugh.

He colored on Let's Rock Elmo (we have seen the display in the store and he went nuts over it) he colored video games, a scooter and some movies and a basket ball (he has one and a ton of other balls he has been hiding them behind and under things). It makes me wonder if he really did get what I said even if he didn't say anything back.

Oh and he insisted he wear his "glasses" while he "read" the ad lol he got them when he went trick or treating at our local mall.

My son has made his list have you? What are the top items your kids want this year?

Shaun the Sheep and Angelina Ballerina Holiday DVDs Review

Shaun the Sheep: We Wish Ewe a Merry Christmas

My son enjoys Shaun the Sheep a lot. Ha gets this silly smile on his face when he watches it. Its like a smirk. He giggles and runs about when the sheep and the dog are up to there silliness. The clay like cartooning is really cool. We have been working on Sheep say "Baaaa" its so cute when he sees the DVD case for this movie he says "Baaaaaa". I like him watching Shaun the Sheep and it even makes me laugh. This holiday DVD is really cute and I am happy to have it for our Shaun the Sheep DVD collection. If you have not seen Shaun the Sheep before its super cute and made by the creators of Wallace and Gromit.

'Tis the season to be woolly, with Shaun the Sheep and his farmyard friends. Frolic with the flock as they decorate the farmhouse for The Farmer, watch Bitzer and Pidsley battle for a spot by the fire, join a massive snowball fight and much more in these seven hilarious episodes from the Oscar winning creators of Wallace and Gromit
 
Episodes include:

• We Wish Ewe A Merry Christmas: Shaun discovers that The Farmer will be spending Christmas Day alone. The animals work through the night festooning the farmhouse with decorations so that The Farmer wakes up to the most magical Christmas that he has ever experienced.
• Snowed In: Shaun and his buddies awaken to find the farm covered in snow. But while the sheep enjoy themselves in a massive snowball fight, they are all unaware that The Farmer is snowed inside the farmhouse and trying desperately to escape.
• Fireside Favorite: Bitzer has caught a cold and The Farmer decides to tuck him up in the house to recover. In doing so, Pidsley the cat is ousted from his favorite spot next to the fire. The mean cat attempts various ways to remove the snotty dog while the sheep do their best to keep Bitzer where he needs to be.
• An Ill Wind: The Farmer receives a huge electricity bill and decides to build his own wind turbine to power the farmhouse. As soon as The Farmer's back is turned, Shaun and the flock adapt the noisy new contraption into something much more fun – a ferris wheel. It's not long before The Farmer blows his fuse.
• Bitzer's New Hat: The Farmer gives Bitzer a horrible new hat. Bitzer is very upset, as he treasured his old hat. The flock rally round to try and cheer him up with a selection of dashing alternative head-gear. Meanwhile, Shaun heads off on an adventure to find out what The Farmer did with the old one.
• Chip Off The Old Block: The Farmer has taken up sculpting, but unintentionally drops a huge slab of stone on top of Timmy's teddy. Shaun and the flock must struggle and strain to lift the heavy block and retrieve the precious toy.
• Shirley Whirley: In a bid to help move Shirley around the farm, Shaun has the idea of fitting up Shirley with wheels. Using a remote control, Shaun can now maneuver his large friend around easily – until The Farmer's TV remote interferes with the signal, causing Shirley to run amuck.

Choo-Choos are a big deal at our house. We live near by a Rail Station so we see Choo-Choos all the time.

Barney: Holiday Favorites 3-DVD Gift Set 

My son is a huge Barney fan and I love Holiday movies so this DVD set was perfect. I enjoyed watching it with him and it had the classic Christmas stories and songs. He clapped and cheered as Barney and friends interacted with Santa. This year my son is very much aware that the Holidays mean something and he enjoys it. We had fun singing and dancing along with Barney. I know he will be enjoying these DVDs for many years to come during the Holiday months. He yelled SNOW when he saw it on the show. We have a first words DVD and "snow" was one of that words he was learning. I loved seeing him be able to recognize there was snow around Barney.

I Pooped!

My son has been talking so much more now the closer he gets to his birthday. He can do animal sounds if I ask him what the animal I say does, he says all the basics and recently has started to declare when he has pooped his diaper. Its sooo cute! He will come up to me and say "I pooped!" I appreciate him telling me and he smiles when he says it. I am hoping this is a step towards potty training since he is aware that a poopy diaper is no fun.
