Breastfeeding was crazy hard, but weaning is sad too
My son Conan is pretty much weaned now, at 13 months. It’s been about a week since he last nursed, and he’s perfectly happy without it. I have mixed emotions about it — on the one hand, it is SO liberating, but on the other hand it’s the end of a really close part of our relationship, a connection we will never have again. But time moves on, and my little guy is rapidly metamorphosing from a baby into a toddler.
Thinking back on my early experience of breastfeeding, the thing that really jumps out is that I never, NEVER believed that we would make it through a whole year…
Breastfeeding your toddler never looked more beautiful
Mama C-Ta says of this beautiful portrait of her and her son Julian: “Nursing my 2 year old — I want to capture it before it ends which can happen without a moments notice.”
Handmade dinosaur bed for kid’s room
This may take some serious carpentry and creative skills, but your little dinosaur-lover would “snap” at the chance to sleep here.

Screw! You know… for kids.
I’m not really quite sure what this is, but it’s called “Screw” and it’s for kids, so that’s pretty cool. Personally, I think it looks like something a kid could really get hurt playing with, but it appears that these crazy looking toys are in fact, children’s furniture… and also toys. They were created by […]
Now you can do “here comes the airplane” with a frickin’ illuminated runway!
I love Think Geek because it’s a one stop shopping expo for my nerdy husband. But who knew they had ridiculously cool baby stuff? Okay, yeah, maybe most of that stuff is actually for kids… but I still maintain that a child couldn’t possibly get as much enjoyment out of the Tauntaun sleeping bag as […]
