I began weaning Samuel today. Apparently, he has a kinship to Gandhi, because he is on a hunger strike. I finally pitied the child at around 3:00pm and I nursed him, but then he bit me again, so I’ve learned my lesson. With Atticus, I took my time and switched to the bottle gradually, but after today, I must do all or nothing with Samuel, or he’ll just hold out for his mum for every feeding. He has to make this transition soon anyway, so why not today?
