Godspeed Little Man

If you were to ask me, 2 years ago or even 1 year ago, if I would be nursing my 1 yr old much less my 16 month old I would have laughed in your face.  I knew I wanted to nurse my baby and thought 6 months was a logical number.  6 months rolled around and the thought of giving my baby formula made me sick to my stomach.  Ok, So I can go 12 months. Cody and I attended a breastfeeding class before Jones was born and I think it scarred me for life...in a good way?

When the year mark came and I could give Jones whole milk he didn't care for it.  I continued nursing.  13 months rolled around and wow, still doing it.  14 months rolled around, somehow managed to talk him into taking cow's milk and weaned him down to 2 nursing sessions.  Score!  14 months rolled around, he got sick and turned into a newborn and wanting it all day long.  Back to square 1!  Started all over and at 15 months got him back down to only nursing at night before bedtime.

Last Sunday I thought I would try to put him down without nursing, just to "see" if he would.  I never imagined he would........he did........I am so sad but so happy at the same time.  I enjoyed our nursing relationship and know it was the best thing for him.  It was time to quit.......It's what society wanted me to do anyways............

It's good to see you venturing out more and more everyday by yourself.  Getting more independent and relying on me less and less.  You always turn around to make sure I'm there and I always am.  Anytime you need me......I will be.

Godspeed, little man
Sweet dreams, little man
O' my love will fly to you each night on angels wings
Godspeed
Godspeed
