Who's The Boss?

Apparently...Gavin is. No matter what I do to control this kid, he ultimately is going to do it his way in his timing. Case in point--nursing. About two weeks ago we were in a comfortable routine nursing only morning and night and bottles in between. Until one day Gavin decided that he would not under ANY circumstances nurse. Bring on the bottle...bring on the sippy cup...but absolutely do not think of making him nurse. So I let it go a few days (which is so annoying having to prepare a bottle and then pump on top of it) thinking he'd find his way back. It's been two weeks. Not only has he not "found his way back" but the mere suggestion of him nursing throws him into a full out screaming fit. So all this "bonding" time...I can see how sad he is to give it up. My child has spoken and his preference is not Mom. So...we're saying goodbye to nursing and hello to my little boy...the Boss.
