Oh the things kids say… this made me laugh out loud.
Okay, so a bit of background first…
I nursed Julia for 25 months and Sophia for 20 months. Sophia has completely forgotten what nursing is and within a day of me weaning her, has never shown any sign of remembering that she used to feed from anything other than a bottle or sippy cup. Julia does not remember herself nursing, but now knows about breastfeeding from watching me nurse Sophia.
Last night, my 4 year old Julia and my 2 year old Sophia were having a bath.
Julia was nicely washing her little sister’s back and then put some soap on her hand and rubbed it on Sophia’s chest. She said in a sweet little sing-song voice to Sophia, “Here Sophia, I’ll put this lotion on your nipples to help them grow so you can nurse your babies when you’re a mommy.”
I smiled to myself at this adorable gesture.
Then Julia turned to me and said, “Mommy, I’m putting lotion on Sophia’s nipples to help them grow so she can nurse her babies when she’s a mommy. The lotion will make them grow… bigger than yours.”
I almost fell over laughing.

Rachel McFadden says
Really cute! Kids notice the cutest things!
Maryann says
That is so cute. I’m nursing my 7-month old and my 3-year old daughter asks if she can “feed boobies” to my son.
Thena says
So cute. My youngest daughter has named hers. Right now there pancakes but soon they will grow a little and become cupcakes. Her oldest sister has a baby that she nurses therefore hers is called coconuts because they have milk in them.
Angie says
Adorable! Such a sweet relationship they have.
Melanie says
LMBO! That is priceless!
Cathy says
Oh goodness….
Stephanie - Home with the Kids says
Aw geez, almost lost it there holding back laughter. In the middle of breastfeeding my youngest, who is in the process of falling asleep. So hard to not laugh!
Amy says
Love it! One day when my youngest was a newborn and my (at the time) 4 year old was watching as I nursed her, he giggled and said, “I just think it’s hilarious that you have milk in there!” 😉

Ohhh I adore little ones. My two year old baby boy asked me today if I had lost my penis and wanted us to go look for it!
Blessed says
I could see my 2 year old saying something like that… oh how funny! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Kim says
From the mouths of babes! They certainly come up with the most interesting things, don’t they?
Jen says
The other day my daughter told me she loved her daddy “a thousand.”
Then, looking at me, she said, “It’s OK mama, I love you three.”
Don’t you love the way kids see the world? So absolutely fully. In numbers and in nipple sizes …
Love it.

Ha! That is great.
I’m currently breastfeeding my four-month-old, and I am surprised whenever my three-year-old says he needs to feed the baby!
Jessie says
very cute! My 2 year old told me the other day when she is big like me she wants to nurse Ruby (our youngest). I am glad that our girls will have seen me nurse and, even more, nurse longer than “normal”.
Awesome story!

Loved this! And love that you got to nurse so long. Maybe with my next one…..(insert wistful look here).
