Happy Easter....?

Jonathan got a little confused when we tried to get him to say "Happy Easter"... he thought we were having another birthday!

Jonathan loves blowing out candles

The Weaning Wars

Well, at long last, Jonathan is being weaned. I always knew I'd wean him around the age of 2, and since we were going to the beach during his birthday, I nursed him for the last time a few days before we went. I figured that the pool, beach, hotel room, etc. would be good distractions. Well, they were, but now we're home and he's not distracted anymore. Tonight he cried for 2 hours to nurse, although it's been 3 full weeks now. Even my older two girls were begging me just to nurse him! But, I will not give in!! He is weaned... he just doesn't want to admit it yet. Not sure exactly where I fit in the "mothering paradim" since I nurse way longer than conventional mothers, and at the same time don't just give in and nurse them once I've decided "enough is enough, you are weaned now!"... not sure where that lands me... I guess motherhood isn't something you can put into neatly labled boxes.
