I went downstairs after a break from cleaning and sorting to have Doug hand me this photo and say "Put this in a safe place. It's a keeper." This is Ethan's first day, and our first day nursing together. We shared this bond for three and a half years, when, for whatever reason, he happily went on to life without nursing. It seemed he just forgot, and I didn't see a need to remind him. He mentioned it once after a few days not nursing. I told him we could try, but there might not be any milk. He said "No thanks" and we continued playing. I remember feeling a bit sad in that moment as I watched him bound away, but content at the same time. Happy to visit that stretch of memory upon seeing this photo again.
