The three men in this house have actually chased me around as I am getting dressed, each laughing & calling out for my boobs... each saying that it's his turn... needless to say I am in the shape of my life & can outrun them all! When trying to set some boundaries with my boys, I would tell them when they could nurse, why they couldn't at that time, we were driving, I was making dinner, whatever, & offer water in the meantime. I would also ask my husband to offer snuggles, or a story, something close with them while I finished up what I was doing. I also taught the boys the hand signs for milk & for water, it sure helped with timing & boundary issues. After three years of nursing with at least one more to go ~ I wonder if anyone will want them when they are back to their small, & perhaps saggier form! Ha!

Like Hobomama and others, it's the TWIDDLING in particular that is making me mental. ARGH. And yup, every time she catches a glimpse of me changing, she shrieks and giggles with delight at the sight of her "Boh-tees" (her own invented term) and I have to fight her off. Sometimes it's cute, sometimes it's maddening. She also prefers both boobs unsheathed - I've been getting pretty firm about that lately. Another odd thing she's been doing lately - if she's on my lap and wants to nurse, once I expose the breast, she sometimes lifts up her own shirt instead of nursing, and rubs her belly against my boob. O_o Is this an unfulfilled need for skin to skin, or what? .-= Dou-la-la´s last blog ..<a href="http://dou-la-la.blogspot.com/2010/01/weekend-movies.html" rel="nofollow">Weekend Movies: Multiple Organisms</a> =-.
