What a charmer

The other day I made a yummy, healthy fruit smoothie for Weston and me. Usually I have to sit there and help him drink it since it is too thick to put in a sippie. I decided this time, maybe he was old enough to handle drinking it on his own if I just put it in a little cup... well, I guess he wasn't quite ready after all. What made the otherwise typical mess-making incident so comical was his reaction. He was so stunned that he just sat there, completely still, without so much as a sound. Poor little guy. So much for the intention to save myself a little effort! Here are some other things that my favorite little guy has been up to lately:
Playing the piano...Playing in grandma's yard...Sitting at the table like a big boy...Taking a snooze on the couch while mom and dad watch American Idol... Cracker eating...And cracker pouring... Pretending to go pottie, then flushing the toilet and waving "bye-bye" to the pee. (that is only even there on rare occasions) I try to only let him flush when he actually "goes," but sometimes he does it anyway...Posing for the camera... really, who can resist that sweet little face?

A little tip, add just a bit of extra milk to his smoothie and you can put it in the sippie for him to drink himself. That's what I do with my 2 year old. What a cute little guy Michelle!

Weaning, ah yes it seems so close and yet so far away. Night weaning is the final nail on the coffin and every nursing babe knows it. For the record, I nursed Conrad (2 years) while I was pregnant with Riley and yes the change in my milk stopped him cold. With Riley (2 1/2 years), I wasn't getting pregnant, so I substituted nursing for story time, which worked. Poor Amelia (2 years), I put vinegar on my breast pads and told her nursing was yucky. I let her nurse and she started to cry because she knew I had "poisoned the water hole." It worked though and I think she will need minimal counseling in her teens.
Good luck!

Your son is just beautiful! I love that "What just happened?" face he is making, covered in smoothie. Don't worry, little guy - that happens to me a lot and I'm a lot older than you!

I have to say, Michelle, I thought about you and all the encouragement you gave me right before my mission while I was serving in NY - having you as myu Visiting Teacher and friend just before I set out to serve was a true blessing! I'm so glad to see how many wonderful dreams you've accomplished since then,a nd how happy you are!
