It seems a bit sorrowful, and a whole lot natural, to be almost fully weaned by wee man. We only nurse first thing in the morning, and I am unsure if that is more for my benefit or his! I like to think that my girls have succeeded in their one true task....what they are really meant for. Good work girls!! I will miss these special moments of bonding, but of course we will maintain this closeness in many other forms.
It is just another one of those "letting go a little more" moments that truly terrify me. I know he is learning his freedoms and independence now and will more and more from here on. And I need to deal with the lack of control I have over this and many, many things when it comes to wee man. I can't help but want to gather him into my arms when I think about it, though.
Speaking of letting go. We have been in our new house for almost a month now, and I had to pop into the other house a couple days back for a few moments. There is a true eeriness about an empty house, particularly one that you and your family previously resided. It was a tad sad. Another thing to let go. That house is where we brought our first baby home, it is where we experienced all of the amazing moments of the 1st year of his life; feeling that will last forever. Now the air there seems....well, empty. Goodbye home. Hello new home. Hello new moments. I think we'll stay awhile.
