Maybe it is time for me to do a 2.5 year? I might just wait until 3... whether or not he is nursing any more at that point, I cannot predict. :) http://mariawj.blogspot.com/2008/12/two-years-of-nursing.html BTW– your post reminded me of my own 2 years of nursing post.

I keep thinking the milk will dry up while I travel for work, but so far it is sticking around (without pumping). Weaning is a whole 'nother issue... it's complicated! We are still nursing.

I am interested in knowing how he reacts to your trip. I was worried about Clair when I had to spend a night in the hospital, but she didn't give her daddy any problems. I think that fact that I wasn't there helped her lose the desire to nurse. Since she has started daycare (only two days a week), she nurses less. Now that she is on a break from daycare, she is nursing more frequently again. With her personality, I think nursing has more to do with access than need. Her other coping mechanisms work just fine when I am not around from what I've been told by the care givers at daycare and from my husband. We are thinking of having daddy go in to help her calm down when she wakes in the night to see if that helps her sleep through again (for some reason she stopped sleeping through a few months ago - or maybe quite a while ago. it is all a blur). Good luck with the little booby lover. It’s nice to hear an open stream of consciousness about nursing past two years. I am interested in knowing how he reacts to your trip.
