you know it's time to

You know it is time to wean your child when they start to lift up your top...

Well in our culture anyway...

My goal was that Eden be weaned by my birthday - the 23rd Nov and we are right on track. At the momenthe has a breakfast feed every second day (thanks Mum for that idea) and every other day Eden gets to feed himself (very exciting and time consuming) yoghurt out of a bowl. He is still a bit of a grumpy chap in the morning but he loves his vegemite toast which has helped a lot to get his mind off the milk track.

Eden is walking everywhere now - has been for around 3 weeks. Superkids set him off really. When the club started back and we went along, suddenly Eden was in this huge space and just decided it was worth wandering around a lot. He had been reminding me of the cockateil that our family had for a long time when I was a kid; he always climbed his way around the aviary even though he could fly - Eden was using the furniture to make his way around the room even though he was quite capable of walking straight across.

I suddenly realised when he was padding around in the damp watching the botanical garden ducks this week that I actually need to get him a pair of proper shoes. Easy peasy, two for $5 on trademe that afternoon.
