Dear world, our Mama is mean
Dear world, our mama is mean. We the twins (Hyrum and Quintin) have hijacked her blog to tell you just how mean she is.
She is trying to wean us. We have no idea why, but it is unacceptable. We LOVE that nursing thing. It's warm and nice there in mommy's lap. The food is warm, soothing, and good. There's that whole sucking thing which makes us happy. We don't know why. The binky isn't as good as mama. You all understand, we know. To top it all off, Mama has to pay attention to us and look into our eyes, and smile at us, and we feel loved and safe. Ya, that nursing thing is great.
But mama is taking that away. We are just now realizing what is happening. We only got to nurse 3 times yesterday, and there didn't seem to be enough milk. She keeps offering us a cup with cold milk in it, but we don't want that! We want our mama back. Now, we understand that mama has been nursing TWO of us for a little over a year now. She tells us that is pretty amazing. We don't get it. She tells daddy that she didn't nurse any of the other kids quite this long. That's sad. She should have nursed everyone longer. Did we mention how nice nursing is? We were so upset that we had to throw tantrums this morning. Quintin in particular did a great job. I think Mommy really got the picture. He was incolsolable for a good 15 minutes. He didn't want to be held, he didn't want the binky. He REALLY didn't want to be put down. True we had already nursed, but obviously it wasn't enough. Mama held out, though, and offered that stupid cup again. We took it. She held us close and looked into our eyes, and even though it was a cup of cold milk, it was still nice on mama's lap.
We plan to retaliate this afternoon, though, by not taking a nap AGAIN. We've discussed it, and we're pretty sure that will work. We hope you all understand and will tell mommy to stop this weaning thing.
Sincerely,
The Twins

1 year is a milestone I look forward too. I nursed my first child for 2 years, hope to do the same with the twins. Congrats and happy weaning. You could always add chocolate to the milk!!
Good for you twins for a year. Remarkable!!
My youngest fought weaning as well (at 3.5 years LOL) Each baby got progressively longer...
LOVE your yarns.. I wanna be a bit like you someday :-)
Poor boys... poor mama! So hard on everyone. Hope it starts to get easier on you all!
Love the way you told the story. I know weaning is hard sometimes, but you are such a good mom that you can handle anything with such calmness.
Haha, I love it Dawn!! You have more strength than I could muster. Good for you
i vote for the twins :) The boys nursed tandem for about 3 years? Max was forcibly weaned at 5+ years when I was pregnant and he was VERY unhappy. William weaned about about 6+. In the end it was just when they were tired or sick, but they still had their nonies. I think they'll be boob men ;)
