The "lasts" of his babyhood are long gone now, and he will experience many "firsts" as he launches into preschool age. Oh--it hurts bad sometimes! I've been crying, actually. But thank you for sharing your story, just when I needed to hear it!Martine | Work at Home Mom Writerhttp://daintymom.com/2012/05/weaned-a-letter-to-my-toddler-son/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318439436381392379.post-47357502002767232162012-05-17T14:36:33.965-07:002012-05-17T14:36:33.965-07:00This is a beautiful post...one I'm sure I will...This is a beautiful post...one I'm sure I will never forget!

Berggren print. And I'm so glad I did, because I loved reading this. It made me cry! I love the term "gee," first of all, that is so sweet. And I love the reminder that there are many lasts in parenthood. It's good to live in the moment, for sure, enjoying each phase. At the same time, it's also important not to get TOO caught up in the moment, because sometimes the moment is "augh, I'm tired!" when really, if I take a step back, I realize, it's okay to be tired AND nursing my baby, it's okay to be a little achey from rocking him, as long as I also realize how sweet it is that he's small enough to rock still, and that he still loves to nurse. So many people have so many opinions and I have gotten caught in the maelstrom of wondering well just how long is he going to nurse, and just how long is he going to sleep with us, and are we creating a monster because we're not making him sleep alone, etc, etc. But deep down, I know we're not. I know that kids need their mommies, and I'm happy to be there for him. I know I'll miss it all when it's over, even though we'll be doing new/different/interesting things together. This time is special and I cherish it SO deeply! <br /><br />This was awesome to read. <3Meghttp://megabyte.dreamwidth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318439436381392379.post-91479987645724350012012-05-14T13:27:46.146-07:002012-05-14T13:27:46.146-07:00Time sure is flying.

I don't know if it's a few more weeks or a few more months, but I know it's not long before my little girl weans herself. I'm enjoying what little time we have left of this wonderful ritual. I will always remember this special bond with my kids fondly :)Efsun Alpernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318439436381392379.post-4372927263567251612012-05-13T06:23:32.999-07:002012-05-13T06:23:32.999-07:00I came over here from your Bliss Habits ;-) This i...I came over here from your Bliss Habits ;-) This is such a relevant post for me as the TIME magazine cover this week and the furor over "extended breastfeeding". I'm currently in a discussion with a friend on FB about attachment parenting and I blogged about it here: http://togetherwalking.weebly.com/1/post/2012/05/coming-out-of-my-lactivist-closet-and-finding-my-purpose.html<br /><br />Motherhood is such an amazing ride!

I had planned to breastfeed at least until C. was one. At 10 months of age, she weaned herself. One morning she was done -- and done. <br /><br />Somehow, even despite my best intentions, I skip straight from "Mommy can't carry you; she's too tired" to "Mommy wishes desperately she could carry you just one more time, but you no longer want (or need) her to." <br /><br />If there is one major Life Lesson that being a parent has taught me it is the joy of just being In the Moment when something -- anything -- is happening. I have learned SO much from my Little One.<br /><br />Thanks for this post. And thanks, too, for the kind words and the opportunity to contribute to Bliss Habits. May you and your Little One continue to learn from each other for many wonderful years to come...Ami Hendricksonhttp://twitter.com/MuseInksnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318439436381392379.post-44409032809010066832011-06-22T22:49:47.333-07:002011-06-22T22:49:47.333-07:00Thanks for stopping by!

I am planning on coming back... just haven't been able to do both at the moment.<br /><br />Anyway... with regard to your question, things are good on the potty front. I told my turning point story in this post and am happy to say she has been 100% since that time.... everyone of my friends has a different story to tell... often totally frustrating like mine was... good news they do eventually get it!<br /><br />Here's hoping your turning point comes sooner rather then later!<br />Kathy<br /><br /><br />________________________________EverydayKathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318439436381392379.post-6161354358865417172011-06-14T17:16:14.429-07:002011-06-14T17:16:14.429-07:00So how's everything with the potty going today...So how's everything with the potty going today?
