Funny Things Toddlers Say And Do

This is my son, when he was about 2.5 or 3. He loves mommy-baby stuffed animals and he had a Tiger that his grandmother had given him. Well, she mailed him a “baby tiger” to go along with the “mommy” that he already had. He took the tigers and held them up so that they could meet:

Mommy Tiger: “Hello baby”
Baby Tiger: “Hi Mommy”
Mommy Tiger: “Let’s Nurse”

Baby tiger falls into Mommy Tiger’s Arms and starts to “nurse”

This is just one of the many joys of raising a nursing toddler! Do you have a funny story to share about your nursing toddler? Please leave a comment!

Nursing Toddlers And The Funny Things They Say

I went away on a business trip for 4 or 5 days in October last year and my parents came out to stay with my husband and help with my son. At the time, he was 3 years old and was still nursing 1-2 times per day. While I was away they went to a train hotel and did a lot of fun things. When I returned, I asked my son if he enjoyed spending time with Grammy and Grampa and his response was

“Yes, but Grammy didn’t nurse me.”

I was pretty surprised by his response because I never dreamed that he would think his grandmother WOULD nurse him. No one has ever nursed him except for me – so I don’t know where he got the idea. So I asked my mother. She said that she wasn’t even sure if he was still nursing anymore because he didn’t talk about it, ask for it or even seem to miss it while I was away. I told my husband and he said that my son did ask him if Grammy was going to nurse him and he told him simply that “Grammy’s don’t nurse”. Nursing a toddler can be full of fun moments like this!
