Tonight the family (including Mom, McGee and Quin) went out to the Stinking Rose for dinner.  Tom and I haven't been there in probably 8 or more years, so when Quin suggested it, we figured why not?  We like garlic.  No one is going to want to come within fifty feet of any of us for the next century or so, however.  Everything we ate tonight had garlic in.  Fortunately Tai ate some too, so he won't asphyxiate when we go to bed.  Unfortunately we ate too much and so were too full to partake in the garlic icecream.  Maybe next time Quin is in town.

Tai was adorable.  He was hungry, but there was too much to see to spend any time nursing.  So we gave him some cheerios as an appetiser.  Then the rolls came.  He ate almost a quarter of one before stuffing his mouth so full that pieces started getting pushed out.  Mushy pieces.  Yum.  We figured we'd better stop that while we were ahead.  No roll-gagging at the restaurant, please.  Fortunately the food came and Tom shared his dinner.  Tai put away an impressive quantity of ravioli and garlic mashed potatoes.  On the ride home he fell into a carb induced coma.  He woke up a few minutes ago for a falling-asleep nurse, but went right back to sleep.  I'm going to have to follow soon. 

Mom mentioned again that he's getting more interested in solid food than he is in nursing and she and Tom talked a bit about Tai weaning in the relatively near future.  I'm not going to push him to wean, not by any stretch.  I would be happy to nurse him for the foreseeable future.  I love the closeness, the cuddling, the way we play and giggle.  It's something that Tai and I share that he doesn't share with anyone else.  But I'm also going to have to take my cues from him.  When he's ready, I'm going to have to let him go.

Fortunately he doesn't seem completely ready yet.  He still likes milky, especially at night.
