Xuanie is slowly being weaned. For most days in the past 2 weeks, he’s not nursing in the day, and not during the night, but only once in the morning and before his bedtime. He is slowly understanding it, I believe. I use the names of all the friends he has, and all cartoon characters he knows, and tell him they don’t have “nai nai” (for nursing/breastmilk). He would sometimes just mention these names and then shake his head as he says “nai nai.” Yesterday at the Peabody Museum of Natural History, we saw this huge dinosaur fossil and a smaller one next to it. He pointed to the big one and said “mama” and pointed at me. For the small one, he said ”Sha” (for Xuanie) and pointed to himself. Then he said, “nai nai” as he shook his head and pointed at the small dinosaur.
He gets the idea. Now, he just has to actually do it. Same goes for potty-training.
