Fi has decided that my left breast is hers. She’ll point to the right one and announce that it is for her brother. He is more of an equal opportunity nurser but doesn’t seem to mind conceding the left side if she is around.
LLL has a trick to try to stop toddlers who want to constantly nurse. You count to ten and vary the speed of your counting by how long you feel like nursing and at ten they have to stop. Fi puts her hand over my mouth and says “no ten.”
Stumble it!

St. Paul hit the nail on the head when he said, To the pure all things are pure, but to the impure nothing is pure (Ti 1:15). It is a tragically impure world that labels the purity of a baby at the breast as "gross." For those with the purity to see it, a nursing mother is one of the most precious, most beautiful, and most holy of all possible images of woman. (source)

Oh my. I have a feeling our girls are kindred spirits. That sounds like something my little one would do.

Oh! I had a good laugh! Toddlers are so funny and super cute!

So cute …
my twins have their own breast now too but will take a chance when they they can get it to steal their brothers.
I won’t let them nurse during day now -only at night (overnight *sigh*) and in the morning.
I might the ten thing - thanks for the tip.
