Weaning: and then there were two

The process of weaning Belle off the middle-of-the-day feeding in preparation for my return to work is complete. I now nurse Belle when she wakes up in the morning and before she goes to sleep at night and that is all. She isn't drinking cow's milk in place of the daytime nursing sessions, but she is consuming cow's milk (in her morning cereal and also sips here and there during the day). It's likely that both her aversion to drinking a whole cup of cow's milk at once and also the weaning are related to her illness, which is on its way out the door (I hope). At any rate, she is healthy and I am no longer vital to her nutrition during the day.
