charlie is weaned

saturday night (september 1st) was my last time nursing charlie. that means that i nursed him 13 months and 25 days. i was nursing him 2 times a day (once before bedtime and once in the middle of the night...yes he started waking up in the middle of the night again when he started teething and then he made a habit of it). 
this weekend i got strep throat and went on an antibiotic that johnny was afraid that it might give charlie diarrhea. so that put an end to nursing him. 
it has been fine. i don't hurt at all. i give him his sippy of milk with dinner and let him drink it until bedtime. i brush his 5 teeth before bed and then give him water while i read him a book. then i have given him water the past couple of nights in the middle of the night, but last night i started the crying it out thing again. it worked A LOT faster this time. i just had to lay him back down once and then he slept until 8:30. 
so i am done nursing. i would have liked to know that the last time i nursed him was the last time, but it didn't work out that way. i guess this means that he is growing up!! my big baby boy is a sippy drinking boy! (and he is drinking out of a normal big boy sippy...crazy)
