Never ending (breastfeeding) story

 I feel like I've been nursing for 5 million years. And It hasn't been that long, obviously. Almost 5 at this point though and I want my boobs back. Also - not 5 years with one kid but when one stopped, the second started. And boy, let me tell you, my ladies are tired.  I feel like I've tried to reason with my guy but I don't think he's ready to stop any time soon. I'm gonna have a full grown man attached to my boobie. Lol not really but it feels like that sometimes.  Here's the plan - I'm gonna let him nurse until 2 and a half and then pull out the big guns. Bandaids, gross taste, maybe crying it out...ughhh that's the last thing I want. I'll give an update depending on how it goes.  If you guys have any tricks or tips send them my way!

Spirit wear too big? Sew it down!

 My kid wrestles! It sounds crazy to say that, but my oldest is officially old enough. The season is now over. It was fun, not overly demanding and just the right amount of learning and fun having for a four year old. It focused more on instruction and didn't have the kids competing since most of them of very new and also pretty young.  As is usually the case with club athletics - or really club anything- the kids have the option of purchasing spirit wear and even though I knew it would be too big since he's on the smaller side, I just had to get him the goods. I figured I could just alter them if they ended up being massive.  The process is pretty easy, I'd say easy enough for a beginner to do. All you really have to know is the basics of garment construction.  If you're interested in doing the same for your kiddo - I've documented the process here for your eyeballs.  Happy sewing!!

And we’re back
