in breastfeeding

A little late, but, better late than never.

I won't go into details why christmas sucked the big pudding. Suffice it to say that a sensitive mother needs support from her spouse – not the biggest grump-ass scrooge ever on christmas morning.
But. But! Dear ingrid internet the weaning has begun! Parker is sleeping in his sesame street cute as hell toddler bed.
ah elmo
At bedtime we talked about being a big boy and that big boys sleep in big boy beds and, most definitely, do not wake up every hour for booby. He seemed to agree. And i agreed.
this pictures just for me.
And, though my heart is breaking, this is what i need. I need sleep. But, it's hard to say goodbye to my last little baby and those special moments. It's going to take me awhile to get over this.

I only just started reading your blog a few days ago, but now I’m dying to know what happened this year to make Christmas so bad?!!!

Yeah. We’re not known for being rational or logical us Moms. Our bodies know we’re tired. Our minds know weaning is best. Our hearts… damn them … they need a bit more time.
If I were a few provinces over I’d take you out to get smashed in celebration.

you are such a great mom. I wasn’t able to breastfeed my boys so I don’t know much about weaning though.
I have to see the sesame street toddler bed!
my husband missed
Christmas morning. he didn’t want to get up. the ripping, the screaming, the jumping. he missed everything. I. was. not. happy.

It was the turkey’s fault, wasn’t it? ;)
I wonder if my family started giving out presents on Xmas Eve because no one wanted to get up early on Xmas Day. Or, maybe it’s just because we’re Jewish. Who knows.

Yaaay, Parker! There are, after all, still the finer restaurants. ;-)
