While the world will always remember the 9/11 attacks, I will forever remember this date as the day when Luqman was successfully weaned off.
Yes, like finally.
Yes, like finally.
It was emotional. The tears mostly came from me, especially after he had gone to sleep crying. It was during the silence of the night, with him curled up next to me that I realised the finality of that particular relationship of ours.
The drama was just that night. Colgate did the trick, much to my surprise. The next day, he did ask for a feed but I told him it's going to be minty hot just like yesterday and he responded with a head shake. And the rest was history. Alhamdulillah, Allah had made it easy for both of us.
I still feel a little sad whenever I see him, especially when he's sleeping. But I have to tell you, the aftermath of weaning off your toddler is so so liberating! At the same time, you sort of witness him grow to be more independent and the big brother traits seem to shine even more. Alhamdulillah! Couldn't be more happier.
And I can now concentrate more on Adeena.
To Luqman,
Thank you. And that's all I have to say :)
Ummi loves you so much.
