stuff and nonsense

I hate to do two "wah, I'm sick and it sucks" posts in a row, so I'll just say that I still feel crappy and it, uh, sucks. And then I'll move on to cheerier topics.

To wit: how cute Isaac is. ;) Go ahead, gasp in sarcastic shock. I know you want to. I can take it.

Lately Isaac has taken to randomly bursting into laughter while we're in the car. Really, we'll just be moving along, and he'll be staring blankly out the window or playing with his car toy or whatever, and suddenly he just laughs. For no apparent reason. It cracks me up. :)

I know that a lot of people say that a child should stop breastfeeding once he's able to "ask for it." And I could go into the zillions of reasons that I think that is the dumbest thing ever, but for now I won't. For now, instead, I'll just say that if I had stopped nursing Isaac when he started learning to talk, I would have missed out on some of our funniest and cutest moments together. Like when he finishes nursing and sits up and pulls my shirt back down and says "bye-bye boob." Or when he watches me get dressed in the morning and when I put my bra on he says "bye-bye boob." Come on, tell me that isn't adorable. I dare ya.

And finally -- just recently I had begun thinking that it was high time to get some new pictures of me with Isaac. And then my mom, as if reading my mind, took these:

OK, they might not make very good LJ icons, but I do like 'em. <3

I have a friend with four (!) children who is still breastfeeding her five-year-old (she's a La Leche League leader and everything). We were on the phone the other day when he came into her room wanting to nurse, so she nursed him while we were talking. She was gushing about how cute and sweet he is when he suddenly let go of her breast, wiggled off her lap, said, "Done!" and ran to go play. We cracked up... it was hilarious. She loves breastfeeding, but this is her youngest, she's been breastfeeding for 11 years now, and she says when this one is weaned, she's having a party. ;)

The Isaac pictures are adorable, btw... he gets cuter all the time. :)
