Well, i made it through my weekend, barely. We came home last night to very little fanfair. Parker was underwhelmed to see me. I was surprised. He seemed fine.
Until bedtime. I went to put him to bed and he smiled slyly at me and asked "booby now?"
"I'm sorry parker, it's all gone. I left them in vancouver."
And then my lovely young baby summoned the rage of a thousand scorned toddlers. He grabbed my face with both his hands, leaned in real close and yelled for twenty minutes;
"BOOBY BOOBY BOOBY…!!!!!!!"
It was quite the possession. I expected blood to spurt out his ears at any moment. Finally, i had to go and sleep in eliza's bed with her and let shane take over night three of operation booby drop.

Sometimes it’s really hard being a mama. This is one of those times, I’m sure. Good luck.
aweeeee sniff sniff.
Good luck! stay firm with your decision. take care
Awwww. Poor Parker. Poor you. Hang in there, both of you.
It’s so hard to let go of that stage but it’s so so important for them that we keep moving forward eventhough, as mommies, our first instinct is to hold on. To do so would be selfish and eventhough our sweet angry babies don’t see it at the time, we only have their best interests in mind.
Mama_tulip is right, sometimes it’s hard being the mama.
oh, i feel so awful! because i’m laughing so hard! i’m sure it’s terrible, and i feel for you, i really do, but!
“BOOBY BOOBY BOOBY!!!”
AAAAHAHAHA!!
my mom let me go until i actually said, “no more titty,” and pushed her away. i’m so proud of you for resisting. we left my sister’s “bahbah” (bottle full of watery apple juice) in ocean city to get her off it. she was almost 5.
congratulations!
Weaning sucks. Sorry for your pain. Only a little though. It’s hard to be truly sorry for your suffering as I am laughing my ass off and enjoying your hardship. I do, however, sincerely hope Parker forgets about the tit quickly. Good luck!!
