To wean or not to wean
Oh little monster, could you please make up your mind? Your mamma's milk supply keeps changing and your moods keep flip flopping. When you are away from me you don't ask to Nur or need to, and sometimes a snuggle on the floor is enough even when you do ask to. But darling, I am not a sippy cup. I cannot be put down and picked back up at random. 3 days of not wanting to Nur means you're weaned right? You've stopped asking for the most part and I've stopped offering. You seem happy with that and if you have Nursed it's only been on one side for a minute. This has been our trend for weeks, so I had grieved a little and made peace with you being weaned. Until this morning when you are ravenous for both sides and stroke my hair and face as I hold your little body in my lap. Until this morning when you say please and climb up on my lap and gently pat my chest and say "Nur?" while looking right at me. So we Nur, so we hold on to one more day of babyhood. You're such a big girl somedays I forget that you're still just a baby. You say so much and do so much and need so little from me anymore; I mean really, if you could reach the Bananas on your own you'd be happy left to your own devices. These days Nur usually means you want me on the floor with you, you want my attention and love and maybe a snuggle, but sometimes it means "Mama, can't I be your baby for one more day". And little miss, my answer will always be yes.
