The End

...of nursing.

It's been three weeks since Richie last nursed.

He stopped on his own.

And even though I was ready for him to stop, and he no longers needs to nurse for nourishment, part of me is still a bit sad.

I've been trying to figure out why I feel this way. I mean, I had been lamenting about how much time nursing takes, especially since I returne to working full-time.

I've concluded it's because my sweet little boy, is no longer so little. And he no longer needs me in the way that he did. Our special bond, although not broken, has changed... weakened. He will never need in the same way.

This is a good thing, right????
