Dec. 23, 2009
Two years, nine months, 11 days. I know that's much longer than most, but I'm still sad about it. But it was time. I was starting to feel awkward about it. And nursing two kids is just exhausting, even though Bug was only once a day. It was still tiring.
So, on Dec. 23, he asked for nummies, and I told "OK. This is the last time forever." He said OK and nursed for about 20 minutes. I held him, soaking up every moment, taking about 4,000 mental pictures. I talked to him and told him about the first time he nursed. It was our moment.
The next time he asked ot nurse, I told him "No, remember you're a big boy now." And he said "And big boys don't need nummies!" very proudly.
Hardly traumatic for him. Very sad for me.
