Feeding Frankie

For those of you who do not know, Frankie the giraffe is Cailynn's best friend who goes everywhere and does everything with her. The other night I was nursing Callie and Cailynn grabbed my breast pad and raised her shirt and put it up to her boobie. She then took it off raised her shirt again and proceeded to "feed" frankie like mommy does. Then she looked at us and said Frankie is eating! We were trying not to laugh to hard because she was so proud and we also didn't want her to think anything was wrong with it. IT WAS SOOOO FUNNY & a priceless moment I hope I never forget. At first you think..OMG she shouldn't be doing that but actually she SHOULD! I think it is healthy for her to see her mommy breastfeed and know that it is natural and a normal thing to do. Heck, when I think about it her baby dolls come with bottles and she feeds them so why not pretend to nurse them too when that is all she has ever seen. She has never seen Callie get a bottle.
(Of course, I am not against formula feeding either so if someone is reading this who formula feeds please do not get offended..I fed Cailynn formula after I quit nursing her at 7 1/2 months.)
This was just a funny moment..which has happened again with her other dolls... that I am VERY PROUD of! :)
