Weaning!

So far, so good. When putting Ian to sleep last night, he tried to nurse 2-3 times and each time would pull away and look at me with this face that said "what's up with that?". Each time I would explain to him that, "Mommy's milk was getting sour because he was a big boy now and it was time to stop nursing. He was growing up and since he had been nursing for so long now, the milk was getting sour." He didn't get angry but just keep trying. After 3 times he must have gotten all the vinegar off because then he kept nursing. Then at the middle of the night feeding I did the same thing and he didn't try it more than once. We got to bed without much fuss and no nursing. He just drank the cup of milk I gave him and then we rocked and he went back to sleep. I'll let you know how things progress. Hopefully he won't even wake up tonight :-)
