"Painfully" sad
Wesley just recently cut four teeth. Yay--for him, Ouch--for me! Although I look forward to the freedom that having a weaned baby brings, I'm also a little bit sad that my nursing days are numbered. It's just a small reminder to me that this is the first of a long line of things he will no longer "need" me for. I know that no matter how old he gets he'll always need a mother(I'm a sure testament to that), but I just get the smallest pang in my heart that pretty soon he won't sit in my lap and we won't have those little giggly moments that happen from time to time while I'm feeding him. So I guess for now I'll enjoy what I have while it lasts because pretty soon nursing Wesley will be something I
"use to do."

first of all, ouch! secondly, it's with bittersweet emotions that we watch them grow. sadness at leaving each stage of a child's development is replaced by the joy each new discovery and accomplishment brought on as the children grow.
what a darling picture! and why is growing up so bittersweet?!
Thats why Im so glad my kids get teeth so late!! Its true their need for us is always changing and so is our bond and our connection with them. It turns from giggling and sitting on your lap to constant chatter about princesses or bugs, to who knows what is next to come, but theres always a sweet love between Mom and child.
Okay, your children are adorable, beautiful & I'm sure as sweet as you are...but breastfeeding, YIKES, don't miss that at all!!!!
