weaning a toddler

Every time I start typing the "story" of our progress so far, I just struggle to put things simply and straight-forward enough. So sorry, no details. But, I am working on weaning Z-- finally-- and wish me luck, because I need it! 21 months of nursing is just a wee bit longer than I had bargained for, and I am so ready to move on to a new phase with my little boy. Now I just have to convince Z to get fully on board with the program.

Evidence #1 that I am Super Mom

Z was sick and nursing for long stretches. This particular day, G was hungry for lunch, but Z wouldn't stop nursing. So, I had G fetch a can of Spaghettios and set it on the counter. Then I propped my leg up, positioned the can opener, and opened the can-- all while standing up and nursing. Then, I got a bowl and a spoon, dished out the Spagettios, and handed the bowl and spoon to my son.

Of course, I needed a hand to take this picture, so I couldn't actually get a shot of me operating the can opener.
