In need of a playdate

My eternal struggle to wean Lucy continues... we are SO much closer than ever before.  I think we won't spend any nights away until this is complete for fear of regression.  Vacation was great - but MAJOR regression in both nursing and sleeping through the night.  Totally sucked beans - lots of beans.

Who knew you could nurse 2 kids at once?  Not my favorite admission, but its my life none the less, and yes, it makes me INSANE some days to have my almost 2 year old still clamoring for time at my breast.  But now I am in a place where each time I nurse her I realize it could really be my very last time to nurse her, and while I'm totally ready to be done, I do feel like this special aspect of our relationship is drawing to a close, and for that I am a little sad.  But still - get off me child and go play!

Back to the playdate... hardest times for her (us) are the mornings.  Its way too ingrained in her brain that she nurses in the morning.  Sometimes I can distract her with something (ok, yes, I do use chocolate chips on occasion), but the best thing we can do is leave the house and have major distraction.  So - anyone up for a playdate?  a couple of warm days this week - maybe we could hit the Fairfax Corner Fountain or the park?  Really anything would be a welcome relief. 

This is where I just say "Help!" and hope someone responds who would equally enjoy a chance to get out of the house.
