Do I Say It Out Loud?
I'm afraid to say it out loud, in case something changes, but the Sprout has weaned himself this week, I think. I can't pinpoint exactly when it happened, but he's stopped breastfeeding.
Yay! I'm getting excited about the toxic hobby opportunities that I could get into again if this truly lasts. I couldn't do leaded stained glass panels, and I certainly couldn't do furniture stripping while nursing, but perhaps I can start one of these hobbies again soon.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
Not that I regretted extended nursing - I'm hoping it helped him grow out of his peanut allergy, all the nutrients have given him strong teeth and a precocious brain, and he's a really emotionally secure little guy. I'm glad I did it. I'm just done.
If he's done, I'm done. With all my heart.

So....is he really done? I can only begin to imagine the creative ideas that have been stewing in your head since last you were able to indulge in toxic hobbies. Can't wait to see the results! And good on you for nursing until you were both done. Well done!
I'm sad even thinking about weaning. Ever!
But I'm 39 now, so I think we will be "trying" for another one next year...which probably means at least less "mook."
Maybe they'll tandem nurse.
PS "Toxic Hobby" is surely my next band!
