are you ready for bedtime?

last night was officially the first day of not breastfeeding harper in almost one year. it was definitely a strange moment having to kiss her goodnight as she sat in the chair with amy to read a book. for one year, i have been sitting with her every night, nursing her to sleep. i am going to miss that special time with her. i get to say goodbye to breast pads, nursing bras and hello to caffeine and being able to have more than one drink. amy was a little nervous last night but they both did so well. she sat with her, read a book or two, rocked her and then laid her down in her crib. she fell right to sleep. she has been sleeping in over the past 4 days. instead of getting us up at 5:30 to 6am, she has been waking up at 6:30 to 6:45am. a huge difference for us. fingers crossed she continues this new trend of sleeping in. harper is becoming a big girl. i hope night number 2 goes just as smooth.
