I've been breastfeeding for a while now. I nursed Miss F and Miss J until they weaned themselves when I was around 6 months pregnant with their sister. Then Miss V arrived and she has been nursing for two years. My point being - I think it's safe to say that by now, we have it down to a pretty fine art.
So, imagine my confusion when tonight, instead of latching on properly, Miss V missed her mark. She missed her mark by a lot. I looked down at her sucking away happily, seemingly oblivious to the fact she was a good distance away from her target.
Then she looked at me and said, "Yum. Chocolate."
Umm.. Note to self: Chocolate goes IN mouth. Not down top.

About Me
- Alison
- I'm Alison, and my three most important little people are Miss J, twin sister of Miss F - both 4 going on 14 and big sisters to Miss V - who is an impressive 3 years old and anything but the 'baby' of the family.
No doubt I will find it impossible to stick to one theme for this blog, so here is some background info that will hopefully add some sense the inevitable random posts...
The man of our family, M, is no longer with us in body though he is ever present in mind and spirit.
I used to be active in the performing arts 'scene' - Less so now as my girls take centre stage. Creativity is still a huge part of life, though being directed by three toddlers the art form is somewhat different.
I'm always passionate about dramatic arts and creative expression, especially as a tool for inclusion... Bringing me to my next point of focus - Awareness and acceptance of people with diverse abilities. I work with people of all abilities doing anything from playing drama games, making music, talking, teaching, learning and always having fun.
I guess one theme I CAN stick to is that last point - having fun. Living a joyful life is the greatest success, I feel.

Were you hiding it ...I never miss a crumb of chocolate what little I get to inhale.
Funny!! It seems like breastfeeding stories are some of the most popular ones from mommies...everyone has a tale to tell.

That is hilariuos! Lucky it wasn't a piece of chilli! *heehee*

Mmmmmmmm. You've diversified! Thanks for the chuckle. I miss nursing my kids. With a 21 year old as my youngest, it's been a long time since those days.
It was such a wonderful, bonding, comforting experience with all 4 of my children. Sigh.
LOL Trish, I wasn't hiding it intentionally!
Preschool mama - I love breastfeeding stories, but then I love most (positive) stories about kids.
Jeanie - 'Salina has one awesome sense of humor!
Melody - Or worse! Vegetables!
Megan - Yeah.. So did Miss V *giggle*
PW - I bet it was hard to imagine your little one's all grown up when you were nursing them. It is a wonderful and special time, and it goes so darn quickly!
Oh the joy of being a woman :-)
