Weaning and Skating!

It is official! We have begun weaning! I have been very reluctant to start weaning because I know it's super healthy. But, quite frankly, I have loved our nursing time! I love getting Cyrus all to myself every couple of hours! I love snuggling him close! The last couple months I have sought advice from many former lactating moms about how to know when it is time to wean and I kept hearing "you will just know when it is time". And on Saturday morning I realized that it was time. In hindsight I think I have really just been putting it off because I really didn't want to do it! However on Saturday we dropped his noon feeding with extreme ease! He didn't even seem to notice! Then yesterday we dropped his 4 pm feeding with relative ease. I think I will drop the morning feeding in a week or so. I think I already miss that time with my Cy Guy! His first little steps to independence! Watching your kids grow up is so hard! I hope it just gets easier that's all I can say!
Cyrus has also started skateboarding As his dad keeps saying they are never too young to start! Cy got a Cy-sized skateboard for his birthday and has been practicing standing on it. He has gotten really good at keeping his balance (mostly from walking on the bed, yeah I know I'm a bad mom but I always watch him very closely!)! The other day dad wanted to go to the skate park to try his new board. It seems that Cyrus ALSO wanted to try out Dad's new board. After being pushed around on his own little board for a while he moved on to bigger things! Can you believe that the kiddo can stand on the board while it is moving? He loves it! Maybe he will be the next Tony Hawk (forgive me husband for compairing your son to your arch nemisis)! Then he can be one of the most followed people on Twitter, and have his own video game, and support us in our old age... ah but I digress! I hope this is a quality update and that the Christmas season finds you all well!

Love,
Sarah (and the boys and pup!)
