I think we have weaned

This morning after Maddyson's 5 minute feeding I decided that we are probably done with breastfeeding. At 1 year 2 weeks - She will be fine with it. The question is, will I? I had a little cry, and Steve was there to comfort me. I did want that little bit of freedom back (I want to be back on my regular pill) so this will be good. It's a little sad to think that that part of our relationship is closed, but I truly enjoyed it and am so grateful that we stuck with it for so long. It's good to know that I will have the opportunity to breastfeed again with our next child. Our baby girl is growing.

Is It June Yet?

I am so ready to be done with this school year. I'm ready to go back to kindergarten. My 2nd and 3rd graders this year are pretty good kids, but teaching two grade levels is just way too much work. I think I truly was meant to teach the peanuts. Hopefully next year I'll be back where I want to be.

Maddyson is 1 Year Old!

Maddy is now one. We celebrated her birthday by taking her to JC Penneys to have her 1 year portrait taken. She wore a red outfit that we bought in Chinatown in Chicago last summer. It fit pretty well considering that we had to predict what size she would be in 5 months before we wanted her to wear it.

That afternoon we took her to see all the grandparents so that they could see her in her outfit and wish her a Happy Birthday. We actually almost forgot to give her a card and gift, but we made time for it before we put her to bed. She got a big box of Legos of course (my favorite). Every toddler/child needs Legos.

We can't believe how fast her first year has gone. We are so fortunate to have our Maddyson.
