Finished.

It's a big week here at the Hamilton House.  Meredith is turning 5 of Friday.  FIVE.  That seems really big to me, I think this might be a 'milestone' birthday!  She is very excited for her party on Saturday and keeps reminding me that there are 'no boys allowed', except for Papas and Dads.

It is also kind of a big week for me and Quinn.  We just wrapped up 10 months of nursing.  It took a little doing but my girl is finally taking a bottle.  It was time. 
So I did the math, since Friday is Merediths birthday and that is when I first started nursing kids 5 years ago.

In the last 60 months (almost to the day!) I have spent 32 months nursing.

I never, ever really planned on nursing long-term but it has been such a great journey.  I wish I could count up the hours I got to spend in my good old glider rocking the girls.  There were some rough patches and sometimes it was hard but I'm so lucky that I was able to nurse for so long.  Now, will those kids every appreciate all the sleepless nights?  I doubt it, but that's okay.  I will cherish every second with my little stinkers before they are off and running.

I can't even write about Kindergarten registration next month...deep breathes.

We did the kinder thing today...I can't believe it.

I'm planning my "No More Boobies" party as we speak! I've got a few months to go yet :) I think we're neck and neck with the months over the past 5 years...scary!
