The end of SIDE!

I thought this day would never come! I didn't even want to blog it at first for fear of jinxing it! It is has now been many days since Ry has nursed.

It was a gradual (very gradual) end to what my son calls, SIDE. (Originating from my saying "that side's all done, you need to nurse on the other *side*.") He was fightin' it a bit over the weekend and I thought all his pestering would make me cave...then a series of things happened:

1. Our neighbor was riding his scooter with Indika and of course Ry wanted to join in, but two wheels is hard for a two-year old.
2. We had a playdate with a friend from Ry's school and Julian had a three-wheeled scooter.
3. It hit me...he's a big boy now and can ride a three-wheeled scooter. But big boys with scooters don't have side.
4. Ry agreed, big boys with scooters don't have side. We went that day and got this boy his very own Spiderman scooter:
Since the scooter bribe, he has mostly accepted it and actually sleeps better at night. In a way it's sad, but I think I can work my way through the end of the Side era;)
