This kills me....

Wean Me Gently
by Cathy Cardall

I know I look so big to you,

Maybe I seem too big for the needs I have.

But no matter how big we get,

We still have needs that are important to us
.
I know that our relationship is growing and changing,

But I still need you.

I need your warmth and closeness,

Especially at the end of the day

When we snuggle up in bed.

Please don't get too busy for us to nurse.

I know you think I can be patient,

Or find something to take the place of a nursing;

A book, a glass of something,

But nothing can take your place when I need you.

Sometimes just cuddling with you,

Having you near me is enough.

I guess I am growing and becoming independent,

But please be there
.
This bond we have is so strong and so important to me,

Please don't break it abruptly.

Wean me gently,

Because I am your mother,

And my heart is tender.

To bad it won't last

We had another great day of weather! I met up with some friends this morning with Owen and Eva. Eva loved the swing and Owen had a good time chasing his friends. Owen ended up taking a 3 hour nap and Eva took 3 naps today! Gotta love that fresh air. Tomorrow is another story though, Elliot's soccer practice has already been cancelled.

What a day!

What a wonderful way to start my day......Owen peed in the potty! I'm hoping next week since we don't have much going on I can let him run around in underwear and I can get him using the potty more often. He has also spent the last three nights sleeping in the full bed so goodbye toddler bed I'm hoping. He is growing up way to fast.

Elliot did great on his report card! He got the highest marks, threes, in everything.

Baby girl is doing good too. I'm getting ready to move her into a bigger carseat.
