@riversong11 we kept talking about how Christmas was to celebrate Jesus's birthday and by the end of the night Dagny had a meltdown because she wanted cake. Oops.
When Kayleigh is around and I'm feeding Andrew, she insists on sitting next to me and holding my boob. Yep, she sits there and holds the side of my boob while she watches tv. I dont try to fight it at this point since I know she just feels left out and wants some type of connection like Andrew. But its really weird. She also tells me lately that she wants to "go night-night on mommy's boob" (ie snuggle).
Speaking of boobs, anyone still nursing their J12'er?
I stopped around sept but the milk was pretty much gone. Are you still nursing? Kudos to anyone still nursing!
He nurses maybe once a day, sometimes we skip a day so every other day. I have been watching to see him swallow to make sure there is actually milk and he does, but it's only like 3 minute sessions maybe. I had decided when we hit 2 that I'd reevaluate at 2.5 but he doesn't seem to be ready so I'm not either. We'll play it by ear but definitely by the summer I'll wean.

Henry nursed 3ish times after Logan was born but didnt ask anymore after that (so till almost 27 months). He was only nursing twice a day before. He still gets pumped milk when he asks for it.
I dried up mid pregnancy, when ty was about 18 months. He was exactly 2 when she was born and I was fully prepared for him to ask to nurse when he saw her. He totally didn't and one time when I asked if he knew he used to eat from mommy like that he just kept saying "what?" like he had no idea and couldn't fathom the concept. Of course I didn't want or expect him to remember when he's grown up but I was a little shocked and saddened at how easily he let it go and forgot.

I thought of a real FC. I hate reading to Sadie. Most of her favorites are so fucking annoying. I do it, but inside I'm wishing she'd just want to watch tv or play alone instead.

I don't really mind it except that Oliver only finds like 3 books good enough to read right now. So we read them all. day. long. And he usually insists on going through them twice before bed. THey make me want to bang my head against the wall.
I guess my FC now is that I probably won't even throw J a birthday party this year. She didn't have one for 1, because we were alone... and she had a fun bash this year that was small-ish.
I'll have a newborn though, so thinking about it now I just really don't want to stress myself out. We'll probably end up having some family over for cake and presents, but I'm most certainly not going all out for it.
We won't have birthday parties this year either. I am not one to throw a party every year. I figured first birthday and then no more for a few years. We did a first for evie with a newborn though and it wasn't that bad. It was actually a pretty big party. Then it was cazs first birthday and I didn't want to skip evies since hers was a week later. So she also had a second birthday. I'm done!!!

I always ask her if she wants to read the ones I like (Madeline, dr. Seuss, Olivia). Nope. Same ones that have like 4 words total. I need to just pack up the annoying ones!

I'm a sucker for the Llama Llama books. The rhymes are so rhythmic and catchy.
Oh I've hidden many a book in our world... Especially Christmas and Halloween books that she falls in love with. I'm sick of trying to find baby's pumpkin, or the five jack o lanterns already!
I used to be able to skip pages, but she remembers too much now!

I don't mind reading to Riley but she's constantly turning pages and flipping things back and forth so we never finish a story. The Type A in me nearly loses it every damn time.

I'm sitting on the couch and looked around the room and noticed that I never took down the Christmas gel window clings. I have some Christmas lights and Santa still rocking out on my back door and windows. They will continue to hang out there until I can figure out what I did with their packaging.
cookiesandwine You should try the Pigeon books by Mo Willems. I've read them to my class every year for the past seven years, as well as to Robin many many times, and I still laugh at them.

So no judgment here. Enjoy no parties!!!
I didn't want to have a party for Ingrid's second, and when I mentioned to my H that maybe we just do a simple cake and presents with just us he got all huffy and said we needed to celebrate her day...blah blah blah! I can understand because he had nothing growing up and his family life was crazy at best, so he's trying to give her what he never had...SOOOO I guess we'll be throwing two parties every year for the next 18 years
