LLL or for those who don't know... Le Leche League

I have been looking and looking for a local group for women like me who want to or are already green and also who have the opinions and values as me. Well, I think I have found something even better! I finally made it to a LLL meeting and met some wonderful ladies. Who are all of course, also breastfeeding or have breastfed. We meet once a month and chat about our problems, concerns about well, breastfeeding and talk about lots of other things too. I love the support they offer and so many ideas. THey have the same views on being green, breastfeeding, vaccines and so much more.

I can't wait to get to know them even more and learn more about raising a happy, healthy family. I am not saying to those, who don't breastfeed, that you can't raise a happy, healthy family, but for me, that is what I have chosen to do for my family, among other things and that is what works for us. My little girl is over 4 months old and has never been sick.. AND at her 4 month dr. appt, the doc said she scored as if she was 6 months old... all because of breastfeeding!!! I very much enjoy the bond Ayva and I share and Tyler will learn what it is all about and although i wish i could have breastfed him, at least I have the chance to show him why I do it and bring him up that way now. I could go on more, but that will be a whole nother post later.

Well, just had a minute to blog today... not sure how, cuz today is the most busy day i have had in a long time. Tyler only naps 50% of the time now, and that makes accomplishing anything a bit harder. But i don't mind. In about an hour we have parent/teacher conferences, and we will be discussing his aggressive behavior and such. Something I had hoped to never had to address, but we are already in the process of working on it with him, so maybe the school will have even more ways to adjust his behavior. AT the doc. other day we talked briefly about it and realized we were not ignoring his bad behavior enough and probably not rewarding his good behavior enough either. Oh boys, they are so much fun. I hope this phase passes quick and I can have my sweet little child back.
By the way, we are still very much in the potty training phase as well...... good days, and bad days. About 60% one way, and 40% the other. It will come in time.

Ayva is doing so amazing and as always so happy. She been waking early and in the middle of the night again, think for a growth spurt... but otherwise she is a little angel!!

I will update later about Tylers progress and of course... keep checking back for more pictures and hopefully sooner than later,, more videos!!
