weaning.. engorgement... pain

Honestly, I am in agony right now because of engorgement. I started weaning my son today which, of course, he did not approve of. He was so mad and cranky today that I really didn't let him nurse. Right now I have a solid rock breast, I've tried the cold compress and will try the warm compress again coz its getting painful. Any advice anyone? I feel bad for my son though, but I just want him to eat good instead of relying on nursing. I tried weaning him a couple of months ago but I did not succeed because I felt so bad seeing him cry. My technique this time is that I discourage him from nursing by putting a dub of vinegar on my nipple, after he tasted it, he didn't attempt to nurse till now... Well he tried, but I repeated what I did this morning hehehe..

This is his reaction today! (the photo was taken last year)

chugga chugga choo choo

John and the kids were having fun this morning playing the train game. My husband was saying "chugga chugga choo choo" and the kids were cracking out loud hahaha. Its so good when my husband is off because our kids love playing with him. One of the games that we all play and the kids love is the Ring Around the Rosey... I am not sure of the title of the song hahaha..

These boots....

When I saw these boots that my sister in law sent to our kids, I remember the song "These Boots Were Made for Walking" originally sung by Travis William in 1987 and was remake by Jessica Simpson, please watch the video below courtesy of spike.com.

Thanks Chris and Gail, the kids love it!

lots of goodies

We received a big box of goodies from my sister in law and the kids were so happy, they were screaming and yelling "Yey more Christmas presents!" Thank you so much Chris and Gail for all of these. EJ love his toy cars and the boots. Rylie is crazy about the DVDs you sent. She was Shouting for joy when she saw the Dora boots lol.. Here they are wearing the dress up hat hehehe.

fresh veggies and fruits

My daughter just got done eating slices of sweet bell pepper. She love eating it with blue cheese dressing and dip. I am glad that my son is starting to eat a little bit of fresh veggies and fruits too. My son refuse to eat any veggies before but now that he sees his sister eat fresh and cooked veggies, he start eating it too. Rylie also like eating fresh cucumber, green bell pepper and tomatoes. She also love canned black olives.
