Bitter sweet

Hey everyone. The title.... Bitter sweet...Carson has decided he is done nursing. Let me back up. Carson was already only nursing after breakfast and before bed. Saturday morning was normal, the kids ate breakfast and I nursed Carson around 930 am and then he layed down for a nap. I got ready and went to my cousins wedding. After the wedding I came home and grant and I got the kiddos ready for the reception. The supper was great and Aryssa was all ready to dance! So the dancing started and the kiddos all had fun dancing with each other and Carson crawled around for a while and then hung out on our laps since the dance floor was getting busy. Like I said usually I nurse Carson before bed, but with the loud music and flashing lights I knew he wouldn't have nursed nice. So I figured I would nurse him when we got home. Well we didn't get home until 11pm and we just changed his diaper and put him to bed... And he went right to sleep. Then Sunday morning we let the kids sleep in as long as possible before having to go to church. Well they got up and ate breakfast and it was already time to go to church so he didn't nurse again.... So my dilemma was do I make him nurse before bed when he already skipped 2 sessions, OR just let him be done since he didn't act like he "needed" it. I had already been giving him whole milk for supper to help hold him over and he was doing great with it. So before bed on Sunday we offered him a sippy cup of milk and then layed him down to bed. He talked to himself a little while and then went right to sleep and slept through the night. So with that we are done nursing.... Bitter sweet. I hate/love that I didn't know it was our last time. I hate it because I took it for granted that it was always something we would do my sweet boy looking at me while he nursed and falling asleep so sweetly. I love it because he took it so well and is growing up, and I get my body back for a while. (Until #3 starts cooking... No I'm not pregnant!) it makes it easier if grant and I want to have a date night not having to worry about having a glass of wine or pumping or freezer supply. Still though bitter sweet. 

Aryssa is still doing amazing on potty training! She has pooped on the potty now and is not afraid anymore! She still gets so excited when she goes and hasn't had an accident in almost a week! And the last accident was after she pooped on the potty and was SO excited I think she forgot about going potty. I reminded her where we go, but I understood why it happened. 

So that's the update for now, life is going pretty great here!
