Happy New Year!

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

Having a happy new year with my family at home. I’m folding laundry, Kevin is putting together our kitchen dining set and Binary Boy has been asleep for 2 hours! Wouldn’t have it any other way, either! 🙂

Hope you are happy and having fun wherever you are ringing in 2010!

PS – My two resolutions: do more yoga and post more to my blog! What are yours?

I managed to keep it together while reading “The Going to Bed Book” and my voice cracked a few times while reading “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”, but I didn’t cry until I closed the door behind me after I put him down for his morning nap. He didn’t nurse yesterday or today (Dec. 13). He’s not yet 14 months, yet he’s already [almost?] weaned.

It’s been all him. I still offer him the option to nurse twice a day (morning and evening) and up until the point he is about to latch, he seems interested.. and then, he squirms his way up to sitting and points to another book on the shelf for me to read.

I know one of my jobs as his mom is to make him not need me, but why is it that I still want that closeness with him. Mother Nature can be so cruel.
