the right time

i've read a few articles on the best time to wean. but really, there isn't one- when it feels right to mommy and baby... and daddy, then it is time. experts warned that it's best to wean when all other aspects of baby's life is normal (what is normal?) as in, you're not relocating, or baby's not ill, or just entering daycare, or teething or ... or a bunch anything that's can 'normally' go wrong that is not considered normal, and can make weaning 'more' difficult for baby.

well-- tough. it's tough...... cuz life keeps happening, it doesn't stop so you can wean your little darling.

we love supergirl soooooo much. words really would never do us justice. and as a mommy, i'm am positive you know exactly what i mean. we just moved into our new place, less than one month ago, it'll be one month in 2 days. the whole last week supergirl had roseola, high fever, followed with rashes. she's teething. she has 5 teeths just popping out. and it just felt like the perfect time to wean, she seemed ready, we seemed ready.....

so admist all this 'normal' chaos, we did it!
supergirl adjusted to this new home like she never left the old one! teething is uncomfortable for her, at sometimes more than others, but she's a trooper. she was clingy during her feverish days, so i just held her more and loved loved her more, as much as i can. and thru all this, her daytime nursing ceased... and now her nightime nursing ceased...

what a month to remember forever and ever.

i'm not saying our family have it hard. i believe this is just 'normal' for all parents'! we're just happy we've persevered, though it's tinted with some sadness.
