Weaned! Weaned? WEANED!

Dear Pea,
That's right, baby girl-you are no longer drinking mama milky. I can't even remember your last nursing session or how long it's been since we've had one, but it's been at least 3 weeks. No ill effects to you or me. Hallelujah!

And almost overnight you are such a BIG kid. Crazy! Almost no baby left in you, except at night when you still wear a diaper and footie pajamas. And the curve of your still baby buddha belly.

Negotiations are still strong, as is your imaginative characters. You are seldom Eliza, but any number of characters from shows, movies, books or your friends. Though you are almost always your friend's older siblings.  Your gross motor skills are very well defined: climbing ladders, rising your tricycle, pumping on big kid swings. It's so fun to be at the park with you


 This is you walking a mile to your ballet class while pushing a doll stroller. You regularly walk farther distances than most Americans

 And when you don't want to walk, you happily ride



This one is VERY exciting: it's SPRING! You rode home from playgroup without your shoes on. You really liked having your toes aired out
