My Mom took the kids to her new lake house with their cousin on Thursday to Saturday for a PD day. It was heavenly having two nights off, but they came home completely wound up and need a hard reset. DD(8) has never behaved this badly. They are going to bed so early they won't even know what hit them.
I had a bunch of random errands I was planning today. Got down in the garage and ran into my favorite neighbors who were headed to a Christmas market and asked me to join them. Um, yes! None of the errands were urgent and I still came home and got some things done around the house so I feel like today is a win.
None of my kids have been “boob obsessed” despite being exclusively BFed so weaning was indeed easy! I just replaced each feed a snack and they were happy and never looked back haha. Even DS2 doesn’t even think anything of me BFing DS3 now and I BFed him until April! He literally doesn’t even remember that was a thing he did lol.
Haha, ok good, thanks for giving me hope. I feel like I mostly hear things about the difficulty in weaning. I’m thinking she’ll quickly forget, crossing fingers.
L was super easy! He started dropping feeds slowly on his own and gave it up completely a few days before he turned 18 months. There were definitely times when I started to freak out that omg I cannot keep doing the [insert time of day] feed, I'm going to have to figure out how to make him drop this one, it's going to be so hard...and then like 2 weeks later he'd just skip it on his own and never look back haha. Crossing my fingers for you when the time comes.

My weekend was exhausting but fun. On Saturday, I took the kids to a neighborhood cookie-decorating party. Then I went to one of my BFF's college graduation. DS had a flag football game, and he scored twice and had an interception! His team lost, but only by 4. Last night, my baseball mom BFF and I went to hear a band at a local tavern and met up with some other baseball friends. Today, I largely relaxed and then met my sister for coffee and shopping. We are due to get some weather tomorrow so I am wondering if the kids will have a delay or closure.

I had no issues weaning any of my kids. My middle kept nursing only in the morning after a year and she was about 16 months when we stopped. I woke up earlier than her while we were visiting my mom for Thanksgiving weekend and mom and I snuck out for an early yoga class. I got back and my DD was already going about her day and forgot and never asked again. I hadn’t even planned to wean yet, but it happened so naturally that I never looked back.
We went to a tour of the governor's mansion and Santa was there so we got a pic with him. Then we were walking around the city doing fun holiday activities and I saw a Santa in the wild. DD and I were so excited to see two in one say so we asked for a picture.
I looked at the pics later that night and realized they were the same guy.
H and I are watching the Grammy Salute to 50 years of Hip Hop. God this is making me feel old. I danced to so many of these songs at middle school dances lol.
