What kind of bee’s make milk?
Boo-bee’s!
Boo-bee’s!
Funny? Yeah a little
isn’t it. The sort of thing I thought my
3 year old son would lap up. You see he
is a bit of an early starter when it comes to his toilet humour. I simply have to throw Bum or Poo into a
conversation and by his reaction you would think that I’m Jerry Seinfeld. So I told him my Bee joke and was met with a
very serious face and his reply, “No Mum, bee’s make honey.”
You see, boobies are very serious business around here.
I was fortunate to have been able to breastfeed my 3 year old
until he was 13 months old when I fell pregnant with #2. Now my beautiful B#2 is nearing 17 months and
is still being breastfed. It’s a habit I’ve
been meaning to break since her first birthday and every week I create a new
reason for myself to keep going for a few more days; she’s sick, I’m sick, it’s
too cold. As you can see I’m starting to
run out of reasons.
The funny thing is the decision to breastfeed or to not
breastfeed and then when to stop should really be no one’s business at all but
every so often a story will appear in the news or online and suddenly everyone
has an opinion. Pink recently posted a
beautiful photo on Twitter of her breastfeeding her 1 year old. This special moment that she chose to share
publicly was ripped into shreds by the seemingly well-meaning public.
For me, I know these precious days are coming to an end with
my little one and I know that it’s highly likely I’ll never have another baby
to connect with in this way. It makes me
sad. So sad.
With all that said, the fact that my daughter attempts to
seduce me with moves akin to her father in order to have her way with me is
starting to weird me out a little, so I’m going to stop breastfeeding next week. Promise…
