This Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You

Honestly, it does. I few days ago we decided NO MORE BOTTLE for Quinn. He's been down to just one at night since his birthday and has been enjoying it. So much so that he'd sign MILK while getting his PJs on. From past experience, I know that taking something/ending something with a two year old is MUCH harder than doing it to a 14 month old. So I figured it was time to stop the nigh-night bottle. I didn't want to. I LOVED the time Quinn would lay in my lap and enjoy his milk...sometimes he'd play with his hippo over his eyes and then peek through and grin at me. Sometimes he'd take one hand and put it to my mouth for a kiss...and then grin at me. I LOVED that time, but I didn't want to have to deal with a screaming toddler in a few months by letting the habit continue. So we stopped . We didn't go cold turkey...we replaced the bottle with a sippy cup of milk. He's been fine with the switch, as a matter of fact, I think he'd scream if we stopped brushing his teeth after his milk. He'll take a few ounces, sign all down, point to his teeth and say "please." He LOVES his tooth brush. I miss the bottle. I miss that time. I think it's worse with this then it was when he stopped nursing.
