weaned

It's been 2 days now of Rosie being officially weaned. We had decided to wait until the moment felt right and natural to transition her. And the time had come! We had Rosie be a part of connecting with her new milk sippy cup that she was going to use in place of "bu bu." She went through her normal nighttime routine, except got to enjoy her new Winnie the Pooh milk. Guzzled that thing down! Then we laid down together (a cosleeping habit that's continued since vacation and since we've had the house staged). Rosie asked to bu bu a couple times but then we'd remind her that she's done with bu bu and had milk. She took it like a pro and was her silly pre-sleeping self before she finally dozed off. The rest of the night was more or less typical for us.

It was a great comfort knowing the time was right after seeing Rosie transition so smoothly. It was a sad moment for me (Mommy) to come to an end of such a special time with my baby. The first night Rosie was dozing off and put her hand on my cheek that got me close to tears. Then in true Rosie fashion her finger quickly slipped up my nose and she giggled. I love that little peanut warrior.
