We made no plans for today, so we could devote it toward training.  This morning as Logan was looking for a place to hide, I stopped him and convinced him to come with me to go poo in the toilet instead.  After a bit of hesitation and up and down on the toilet a couple of times, he finally told me that he needed to go. And he actually did it after sitting back up on the toilet !  He saw what he made and then proudly flushed the toilet.  We will celebrate with frozen yogurt later today.

     I decided to now begin weaning breastfeeding as Connor is turning one.  My plan is to stop feeding Connor during the day, and continue feeding only in the morning and at bedtime for a bit longer.  Major milestone: I stopped pumping as of yesterday and today is the first day trying whole milk on Connor.  So far, he does not like either the mixture of breast milk and whole milk nor the whole milk by itself.  We will have to keep trying the rest of the weekend.     Previously to assist in napping, I had been breast-feeding Connor to let him fall asleep.  But now, I have to implement an alternative plan: nap training Connor .  While Stuart and Logan went off to the library, I kissed Connor bye, laid him down in the crib and left the room like I do at night.  Connor immediately stood up and cried.  After 10 minutes of crying and rubbing his eyes, he sat down.  Since he had sat down, I did not go in to check on him.  He continued to cry on and off for another 9 minutes, then he flopped forward and fell asleep while his legs were still tugged under his butts.  I guess this ends the year of mommy and baby napping together.
