I received this forward and just had to share it.
Students in an advanced Biology class were taking their mid-term exam. The last question was, "Name seven advantages of Mother's Milk, worth 70 points or none at all. One student, in particular, was hard put to think of seven advantages. He wrote:
1.) It is perfect formula for the child.
2.) It provides immunity against several diseases.
3.) It is always the right temperature.
4.) It is inexpensive.
5.) It bonds the child to mother, and vice versa.
6.) It is always available as needed.
And then, the student was stuck. Finally, in desperation, just before the bell indicating the end of the test rang, he wrote.....
7.) It comes in cute containers.
He got an A.
I really enjoyed this forward. Nursing Ada has been a breeze compared to Benjamin. It has went so well for us that she is 14 months old and I am trying to cut back on feedings which has been easier on me than her. She is definitely a persistent girl and does not give up easily. I enjoy our time together but she is starting to get mean, etc. so I think the time has come to start cutting back. I will always treasure our time together but will enjoy the freedom (not getting mauled the moment I walk through the door)! She is able to drink regular milk and has drank out of a sippy cup since she was 8 months old. Wish us luck during this time of transition!
We celebrated Thanksgiving at my folk's place the weekend before Thanksgiving. The food was great and we enjoyed spending time with everyone. Ada took a liking to the chocolate pie that Auntie Steph and Uncle Craig brought. I thought that I dressed the kids so cute but Uncle Matt was quick to point that Ada's dress was a Christmas dress. Whoops. I didn't look that close to what was actually on the dress. I just thought it was a cute holiday dress. I will definitely have to pay closer attention next time!
