Stages

by Jackie

What I’ve learned in the past 18 months is that nothing stays the same for long with this kid. He goes through stages where he sleeps, stages where he doesn’t, stages where eat eats and stages where he won’t. After several months of thinking we were actually getting somewhere with the weaning process, he’s been nursing just about every day for the past week and a half.

Aside from the fact that it often hurts because I have to grab his flailing fists and pinching fingers I don’t mind too much. I know it won’t last forever and that he will, at some point, wean. I love looking down and his sweet face, especially when he looks up at me, his mouth full, and smiles.

    Oh. Damn. I had forgotten about the pinching fingers. That drove me nuts.
