Ok, so first I have to say that I am not currently breastfeeding and have not been since last AUGUST. Our last nursing session was on Sophia's second birthday.
About a month ago, Sophia was sick and sleeping in my bed. For some reason, she was cuddling on my belly and lifted my shirt and saw my boobs. It was like something clicked in that moment and she yelled "That's for me mommy! That's for my mouth!" I told her it was babies and she yelled "I a baby! It's for me!". I said there was no more and she cried "But I want it, I need to eat it!", it took forever to calm her down, but I was not about to start nursing again.
Since then, she has randomly started pointing at my boobs and saying "there is no more! I ate it all!". Keep in mind that she never once asked to nurse after her birthday. MONTHS and MONTHs of having completely forgotten about nursing.
So embarrassing stories:
1. On vacation last week, we were sitting at Friendly's and Anna was cuddling with me and started pretending to be a baby. She even pretended to nurse, which horrified me and I told her not to do that. She happily pretended to be a baby a few more minutes until Sophia got very jealous and upset "I a baby! I a baby! I want my mommy!!". So that is when Anna yelled "She just wants to be a baby so that she can drink milk from your breasts!!!!!!" I died, I kept thinking "omg they probably all think that I am still nursing them, or at least one of them"
2. Yesterday, when I went to pick up the girls from daycare, they were all together in the yard and Sophia was sitting on her favorite teacher from the baby room (so from last year) face to face. I go see them and the teacher laughed and said "You won't believe what she just asked me!". So apparently Sophia grabbed her breasts and asked "Do you have milk inside?". The teacher said "No, I have no more milk!" (she has teenage kids, lol). So Sophia said "My mommy too, she has no more, I ate all!".
Erin still wants to nurse. shes 3! she totes assumes the position but has to make do with a charm on my necklace. She pops it in her mouth like a little fiend.

C has been weaned for about 2 months and a few days ago she saw me without my shirt and started signing and saying MILK MILK MILK and I said no that I don't have milk anymore and then she got all sad looking and said "cup" and I said yes we drink out of a cup. Then she poked at my nipple and said "yucky" and kept looking at my all dubious like she just knew I was lying to her and she could still get milk. They are funny little creatures.

I stopped nursing at 22 months, but she is obsessed with boobs. "Grandma has boobs. Mommy has boobs. My teachers have boobs. Daddy no have boobs." She did try and nurse a few weeks ago, it was so random.
M & N are still really into my boobs and it's been over a year. Maya likes to ask if she can touch them, and they ask to "eat your booooooobs!" all the time.
