Happy Mother's Day

I think Zoe is weaned. About two weeks ago, she stopped asking for me before bedtime. Then, a few days ago, she decreased the time she spent nursing in the morning. Finally, over the weekend, she didn't even ask for me in the morning. Perhaps as a gift to me, as an easy way to remember, the last time was on Mother's Day. I am so happy, proud and yet not without a tinge of sadness that our nursing days are over. This is the first step amongst the many she will take towards independence and self sufficiency. I am just so glad that she did it on her terms, without any hurried pushing from me. And I am glad that I was able to oblige her and that we shared this special period of intimacy.
