The wild world of nursing, with a toddler in the house!

Well, I knew it would happen, the questions. Before Sloan was born Cassidy quickly noticed that mom was becoming blessed in a certain area. Amazing that a 2 year old noticed, but she did! She would often say something in regards to mommy's boobies. One morning before Sloan was born, I was getting dressed and she started in again, I decided to just talk about how mommy will feed the baby with milk that she makes in her breasts. Cassidy asked a few questions but to my surprise they were pretty quick and it seemed we were done with that conversation.

After the birth, Cassidy often would say that mommy feeds the baby with her boobies. She was on track and didn't say too much more.

A few nights ago we heard Cassidy leave her room, sneak down the stairs and peek at us a few times. We let her play her little game and about 15 minutes later Jason went up to check on her. To his surprise she wasn't in her bed. He instead found her in our room, on my side of the bed. She looked up at him and said, "Daddy, I'm nursing my baby, I'll go to bed when I'm tired". Sure enough, she had a baby doll there on her chest, under her shirt and was pretending to nurse! SO CUTE!! Then when we went up to bed, this is what we found, Cassidy asleep in our bed with her baby next to her. Apparently that night she was all about being like mommy. When she was picking out her PJ's she told daddy that she wanted to wear PJ pants and a "tankity" top like mommy, which I was in fact wearing!

She has done this a few times since, but after all she's 2 1/2 and discovering a new world with us so we're just enjoying this time and wondering what funny moment will come next!!

I had to include the next picture. This was the morning after when Cassidy woke up and had to bring her baby doll in to climb in bed with daddy and baby sister. I LOVE MY FAMILY!!
