update

Well I thought I would pop on here real quick before I get Brookie ready for bed for a quick update. This week went by really really slow. For father's day, I made Jason a video of him and Brooke, more like a slide show of pics from her birth to the present with music in the background. I can't post it on the journal though, or at least I don't know how.

Today we went shopping for minivans. So far the one we like the most is the Dodge Caravan. I never thought I would be a minivan mom, but there is no way that two kids and the stuff for two kids will fit into my tiny jetta LOL. So a minivan it is.

Tonight we are going bowling with some friends. I hate leaving Brooke home, even though I know we need some grown up time and I trust my mom with watching her.

Lately I've been feeling like I pushed Brooke too much into weaning, and that she wasn't ready. I'm basing this on her behavior since she weaned, which on average has been horrible. Plus, I find myself really missing nursing her. So yesterday, when she started throwing one of her screaming, kicking, 45 minute tantrums, out of desperation I asked her if she wanted to nurse. She immediately said yes! Well, she pretty much doesn't latch on correctly, but it wasn't that painful and she only nursed for 20 seconds. Boy what a difference those 20 seconds made! Complete turnaround in her attitude, she hasn't thrown a tantrum since, she is back to being my cuddly girl. Whenever she gets frustrated or upset she just nurses for 10 or 20 seconds and then she is all set.

Well I gotta get Brooke ready for bed and then get myself ready for bowling. At this point my belly is so big I'll be rolling myself down the lanes! Ciao!
