I think I'm in love!

Rose needs this dress!!  There's a close up here

In other Rose related news, I think she's stopped breastfeeding.  Either that or she'll be finished in the next few weeks.

I've had a general rule of feeding only after dinner or first thing in the morning so that if she sleeps in or falls asleep she misses out.  If she doesn't ask I also don't offer.  Due to circumstances and her not asking, I think I last fed her on Monday night and before that it was Saturday afternoon. 

She's also gotten more grown up generally since starting at the Steiner Kinder.  She's stopped crying and saying, "I need you" as I leave for work. She's more insistant about choosing her clothes and dressing herself, and she won't come to me asking for a "hont" (breastfeed) to go to sleep at night.  She's also doing more planning and keeping track of days - asking her Oma to have a sleepover visit, she told me she wants to go to the Farm, stuff like that. 

I'm feeling a bit torn on the BF'ing front.  I believe that she should be able to feed until she's ready to stop,(as long as it's convenient for me)  but she's my last child and I"ll never have that sort of relationship again. 

My boobs are tingling just talking about it.

On the plus side, I won't be wearing my 4 year old overstretched bras for very much longer!
