Boobs!

I still currently nurse my 2 1/2 year old. He is my 5th child. My older children are very use to seeing me nurse. I tend to only nurse him at home now and because we are home, I don't bother trying to be discreet. Sometimes though this leads to interesting conversations in my house. For example, the other day we were all outside and Sebastian wanted to nurse so he climbed up on my lap, pulled my shirt up and started nursing. Eric (my 6 year old) decided he wanted to draw and ran inside and got some paper and a pen. The following conversation ensued....

Eric: I'm going to draw a picture of us. Mom, I'm going to draw your boobs! (giggles)

Me: Why are you drawing my boobs? (A little worried about what type of picture he is drawing...lol)

Eric: Because...

Me: Well we all have boobs. Why don't you draw yours?

Eric: Because they're not big like yours! (giggles)

Me: Oh. Well you know why they are big, right?

Eric: Because you have milk in them for Sebastian.

Me (feeling a little better about the direction this is going): Yes, mommy has milk for Sebastian.

I was happy to see his drawing and the normalcy in which he views breastfeeding.....
Eric, Nathan, Mark, Me nursing Sebastian!
