1. She wants a sip of your drink and a bite of your snack while she is nursing
2. She can ask for "milk" (and sometimes "milkies") and can also tell you when she wants to switch sides ("ah" is "other side")
3. She sometimes reminds you to clip your nursing bra when she is done drinking
4. You occasionally find a sticker or a raisin in your bra
5. She can say "thank you" when she has had enough
6. She can perform amazing gymnastic moves while drinking her milk
7. You don't remember what it's like to wear or shop for clothes without considering whether or not breastfeeding will be convenient
8. She considers your breasts to be her property ("mine!") and may take it upon herself to reach in to your shirt just to make sure that you are taking care of them
9. She tries to multi-task by playing with toys, reading a book or watching a show while she gets her drink.
and finally,
10. You have moments or entire days when you are tired of sharing your body with a demanding little person, but most days you are incredibly grateful for the time to bond and snuggle with your busy toddler and you feel sad at the realization that this part of your relationship could be over at any time.
