Wendy,
I have five kids and many funny stories, this is one of my favorites:
I went to Barbados for two weeks to do some training with UNICEF when my now
eight year old twins Paula and Wesley were two and a half.  I thought this
would be a great time to wean them.  When I returned husband and kids met me
at the Atlanta airport.  Wesley wanted "mommie juice" right away.  I told him
that the milk was all gone.  He looked puzzled, but went along with me at the
time.  Paula accepted the my story. All evening he continued to ask  to nurse
and I told him the same thing over and over.
At bed time, Wesley went to the refrigerator, poured a cup of milk (mostly on
the floor) brought the cup to me upstairs and said, " Here mommie, drink this
so I can nurse nurse you."  Wesley solved my problem and his.  I did as he
instructed and nurse nursed them another six months.
