I’ve been working with K to try to cut down on the amount of times she nurses at night and it’s going very well. I just told her that after she gets her bedtime booby, she can nurse again when the sunshine is out, but not while Grandma Moon is up. The first night this was pretty hard for her and we did a lot of snuggling and crying. But, after that she was fine.
Last night, K started asking for booby around 7 pm. So, we went in her room and read a little. But, she was more interested in snuggling up and getting her bedtime booby. She didn’t want to stop nursing. When I finally told her it was time to go to bed she cried. I told her that she’d had both boobies and that we would nurse again when the sun comes up. She got annoyed and started pushing stuff around on her bed and telling her pillows to “mooove!!” Then, as she calmed down I heard her saying, very quietly, “sunshine, sunshine, no. Gamma moon now.” What a smart cookie!!
Hey mama, scary egg isn’t it 🙂 Poor girl! I’ve been making my tortillas starting with either all wheat flour or half corn meal, half wheat (I think the gluten in the wheat helps them stay nice and chewy) I add salt and pepper to taste, and a sprinkling of cumin and garlic powder too. Then I stir in a few teaspoons of oil and enough water to make a nice dough. I knead it for a minute or two, then roll it out into rounds. To cook them I’ve figured out that it helps if the pan is nice and hot – then they bubble up and get brown flecks in just a few seconds and don’t dry out. I flip them so they have a few brown flecks on each side, and stack them on a plate as I go. Extra keep pretty well wrapped together in foil in the fridge. E def. prefers the corn based ones. Hugs!
