No More Nuntz
11:22pm
Just a brief note to say that I finally did it! I weaned Robert off the boobies. His last day of breastfeeding was supposed to be on the 28th (my plan to wean 1 month before he turns 2). And on the 28th HE FELL ASLEEP without nursing!! I was so sad!! (they say it’s harder on the Mom than on the baby!!) I decided that if he asked (and I knew he would) he could have the 29th be his last Nuntz night. I had already taken away daytime Nuntz a month or 2 ago. Then I took away the early morning (5-6am) Nuntz. Finally last night I gave him his last nursing session. I took a bunch of pictures while he nursed and hopefully I can make some sort of art with the shots of him breastfeeding throughout our experiences.
I am so tired right now. Work is not slowing down much, as kids keep coming in with respiratory distress or problems. Don’t they know it’s warming up outside?? Hopefully soon the RSV season will die down!!
Gotta go, my eyes won’t stay open
ps. Robert put himself in his crib tonight after complaining about not getting Nuntz. At first he was real mad, but he allowed himself to be distracted with me reading him One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish, by Dr. Seuss. Then he asked again to breastfeed by saying, "Wha One" which means "other one" which is what we’d say when he switched sides!! I ignored his requests for Wa One and I left the room to clean the kitchen and then he pretty much cheered up and came out of the room and said , "Hi!" and went in his room to bed. (with a fork he stole out of the dishwasher!) *sigh* he’s such a rapscallion!!
