I haven't nursed Camden in almost 2 weeks. At all. I mentioned a while back that I had night-weaned him, but I was still nursing him once in the late afternoon. Honestly, I was clinging to that feeding more for my sake than for his. I was feeling very sentimental about no longer nursing. Then one afternoon, we were busy and just skipped nursing altogether. Same thing the next day. And before I knew it, it was over. We settled into a new routine that didn't include nursing.
Camden handled it well. It didn't seem like he even thought about it anymore. Then came today.
I stepped out of the shower to see Camden staring at me. Staring, hard. His eyes were glued to my chest and he had a thoughtful expression on his face. I knew what was happening-- he was having a Nursing Flashback. I got dressed quickly and as I was putting on my makeup, Camden started whining. I kneeled down next to him and said, "What's wrong, buddy? What can I get you?"
He got a huge grin on his face and pointed, through my shirt, to my chest.
(No, I didn't allow him to partake in the Boobie Bar. He got over it quickly. Thank goodness for busy toddlers who are easily distracted.)

Hahahaha! That is awesome.
Oh my goodness! Thank God for short attention spans!!! Congratulations on being completely DONE with breastfeeding! I'm sure it was sentimental but I'm sure it's also somewhat freeing. Maybe you and Matt can have a one night getaway sometime in the near future and your mom can take him for the night! You deserve a nice break after all you've sacrificed over the last 14 months!
Kerri, I am sure that last call at the boobie bar was a tough one for you - sticking with it for 14 months is a real accomplishment. But, Ellie is right - perhaps you and Matt can have a romantic night with just the two of you - if you can stand to be away from Camden that long.
