Growing

Wow. Il Tonino is really growing up. He is asking to nurse so much less now, and didn't even ask this morning, despite knowing he can have milk when he wakes up, AND he spent 30 minutes just snuggling in bed, slowly waking up this morning. That was awesome for me! However, I am re-thinking the idea of completely weaning him. If he wants to, I'd be fine with him nursing once a day, even through a pregnancy, and then tandem nursing (I've always been so curious about this!) especially if it would help bond our whole family together better when a baby joins us.

Also, twice now, yesterday and today, he has asked to go and pee in the toilet. This is instead of him holding it in until he either can't hold it anymore and lets out a little pee, at which point we notice and run him to the toilet (because asking him if he wants to go pee was simply met with "NO!") or peeing because he's just stepped into a diaper or the bathtub (yes, eww) or the shower. Yay! This journey towards potty learning has definitely been a 1 step forward, 2 steps back type of thing, but he is now definitely aware of when he needs to poop AND pee, and now it is up to him to decide if he wants to use the toilet or the diaper.

Oh, the things that makes a mama happy :)
