After cutting out a nursing session every 4-5 days, we have come to the end of nursing. While it's been quite the journey and had its definite ups and downs (mainly no dairy for large portions of time) it is a neat bond that Sara and Ashley had. Ashley knew when it was time to eat and would hand Mommy her nuk, it really was precious. Ashley is tolerating not nursing pretty well. We were most worried about before bed and in the morning. The bedtime feeding was stopped first but Ashley jumped right into a new routine...brushing teeth, sip of water, reading three books, singing some songs and going into her crib like a champ. Apparently all of that talk about being a big girl and not eating from Mommy anymore stuck. Not one cry or even a sign of a cry. Mommy might have though!!! And although she was used to feeding right when waking up in the morning, she handled that one okay too. We think she was just more confused than anything because we had Daddy go in and get her in the morning. Our big girl is all grown up it seems. So mark the calendar that Wednesday, February 26th was the last morning nursing session and then we were all done.
One of the last before bedtime nursing sessions Mommy snapped a picture. It's a precious picture to her and one that will always be etched in her heart since it is her last baby nursing one of her last times. It's below the dotted lines so take a look if you want, otherwise skip on by. However, we wanted it documented in our blog books so here it is.
