My Giddy is getting big. He's 15 1/2 months old now and yesterday I weaned him. He had gotten very demanding about nursing. He would follow me around the house screaming "nuh nuh" over and over and hitting his chest (his sign for nurse). My milk is completely gone and so I think it's time. Yesterday he woke up and was playing fine and then he remembered...and started screaming to nurse. I'd had it so I told him it was "all gone" and made the all gone sign. He kept crying and I kept telling him no. This went on for about a half hour. We got him some breakfast and he calmed down after that. Later that day he started asking and I said they were all gone. He didn't even get upset, just went onto something else. Today Thea said something to him about nursing and he made the "all gone" sign to her!!! I guess he understands and is over it. He went to nap and bedtime without a problem and cries a lot less. I'm thankful to have nursed him this long and until there was literally nothing left for him.
The other big thing was that Giddy went into the church nursery on his own and did not cry! I never leave him in there, but the sermon was so good today and I really wanted to concentrate. I took him to the nursery thinking he would not stay (I do not make my babies stay someplace they don't want to), but he walked in ON HIS OWN and didn't even turn around to look for me. I hid for awhile to see if he would start crying and then went back into church. When Q went to pick him up he said Giddy saw him, started crying and ran to the little door and banged on it until Q picked him up. It's obvious that he missed us, but I'm thankful he played fine while he was there...and that a little after I dropped Gid off his sister mareea decided to go play with him. I always feel better when they have a sister or brother buddy when they're not with me.
