Weaning a breastfed toddler is a different experience. No two will be alike but I can tell you that both of mine had one thing in common, bittersweet. I breastfed both of my babies past a year old. Yes, I am "that" mom as some might say. I never imagined what it would be like to nurse a toddler or even thought I'd do that sort of thing!

Raise Environmentalists
It doesn't have to be difficult to raise environmentalists! With only a few simple lifestyle changes you can make a world of difference. Its no secret that we as adults are incredibly wasteful, but add kids and you've created mass amounts of waste. No one can waste paper like my 3 year old who demands a fresh piece when he makes a mistake. I'll take the blame though for being a perfectionist because it totally rubbed off on him. Oops!
