Day at the Big E

Well this weekend has been great so far.  Yesterday Jason went to a wake, and I stayed home with Brooke.  We went to Target, where I picked Brooke up some new winter pajamas.  We also window shopped at other stores that were in the same plaza.  Then we went to Blockbuster where I rented The Rainmaker. I had just finished the book and wanted to see the movie.  As usual, the book was 100 times better than the movie.

This morning we woke up early and went out to eat for breakfast, then we went to the Big E fair. I posted pics.  We had such a blast! It was nice to get out again as a family, and Brooke definately had lots of fun.  We just walked around, looking at the stores, and watched the horse shows for a while too.

When we got home Brooke was a little monster, running around and laughing.  It was so cute.  She got a kick out of me chasing her, and was laughing at everything LOL.  Then I did some homework, and Jason fed her dinner and gave her a bath, then talked on the phone with his friend about football.  When she saw she wasn't going to be getting any attention from him, she came crying to me LOL. I picked her up, held her, and sang "the ants go marching." By the time I finished the song, she was fast asleep.

This makes the fourth night in a row that she went to sleep without nursing.

It's such a bittersweet moment.  Jason keeps telling me that this was expected, but I didn't expect it so soon.  I still can't really tell if she is slowly weaning or just slowing down.  She obviously doesn't nurse at night anymore, but she still nurses to nap and at least three times during the day, so I don't know. I guess we will just have to wait and see. I'm so happy that I don't have to pump anymore though, and so proud that she is able to take the lead on this one. She's growing up so fast!! :*)

Well that is pretty much it. Tomorrow I have a TON of cleaning and laundry to do, and also homework. I decided that by next week I will start working on my store again, that I should be able to handle it by then.  However, if I start to get too stressed again, I will put it off for a little longer.  I'm actually looking forward to sewing though, so that is a good sign.

Well, off to do more homework! Ciao!
