True to form, Diane, you have a way with words :)  That's an apt
description, and I think it communicates the *fun* of nursing a toddler,
too.

After nursing two kids for six and 6.5 years, I'm now done, but I am
babysitting an 18mo who is breastfed.  We were naming various parts of the
body, when she announced MEE-MOO and grabbed her little flat chest and
pulled.  Then she poked my breast and said it again, with a big grin.  I
laughed and told her yes, and then she cocked her head at me and asked, "See
MeeMoos?"  Alas, no :D  I explained that she could only see and drink from
her mommy's MeeMoos, and even my children no longer drank from my MeeMoos
because they were so big now (the kids, not the MeeMoos!).   She seemed
mildly distressed by this, because of course breastfeeding is right at the
center of her universe, and she probably can't imagine anyone who *doesn't*
nurse.

Great family.  *Normal* family!
