Why Weaning is No Fun

We are starting to cut out daytime bottles since Jackson's almost one. It's been relatively painless-at least it was until last week. Sean was in California for business and by Friday, I was tired and ready for him to come home. Jackson's been fighting his afternoon nap, and that Friday, I was desperate. So I made the boy a bottle to see if it would put him to sleep. Well, it struck a memory cord and Saturday was rough. "No Napson Jackson" (as we are fondly calling him these days) appeared and was tired, cranky, and looking for his bottle. We tried giving him some milk in a sippy, but I just know he was remembering what tired and cranky got him the day before. He wasn't having it and we could not calm him down.



So how did we get the boy to chill? A lime, of course! Actually, I don't know how or why this came about, but as soon as Sean cut the top off of that lime and gave it to Jackson, life was much better.
