Sleepy Baby

...or When Weaning Babies Won't Nap
D has been weaning this week.  Last night was the first night we went without nursing.  He fussed for awhile, but went back to sleep and slept until 9:30 this morning!  Weaning is always bittersweet.  I try to not think about how hard it was to get him nursing right after he was born.  I try to forget the two nursing strikes we went through when he was sick.  Why?  Because then I will want to change my mind.  I will miss that closeness.  And I don't want my baby to grow up and get older!  I know that he will start sleeping through the night soon and he will discover the joy of snuggling.  But until then, there will be wonky days like today!
