Sunday's Animal Friends

After a delicious dinner at Joey's parents house we had cute after dinner entertainment. We bought Paw Paw (that is Joey's dad - for my northern friends)a squirrel feeder for his birthday and our squirrel friends are so happy we did.
Is there any beings that don't think peanuts (peanut butter in our case) are just the best thing going?
I love to watch families of all sorts relate to each other. The way they communicate, move together, watch each other, and care for each other. I think people today spend entirely to much time worrying about how other people say they should handle their children instead of doing what comes natural. As most of you know I am a big advocate of breast feeding, and there is nothing more natural than having a child who will root around until they find your breast where you have the perfect nourishment for their little bodies. There are companies trying to duplicate what our bodies know to make to care for our young. Breast milk is best......it's a fact, not just my opinion. There are very few cases where a woman can not nurse her baby. Lots of excuses, but very few real reasons. People need to ask for help and others need to be willing to give it. It is a huge commitment, even can be painful at times, but why wouldn't you do what is best for your baby? Because it isn't convenient for you? Because you have more important thing to be dedicated to? Because you think it is weird or you don't want to make other people uncomfortable? Put your children's health first. So nurse those babies as long as they want. My youngest was three and a half when he was ready to stop. The next time you see a woman nursing her baby give her a big smile and help her feel comfortable doing what is natural and best for her baby. Natural instinct is a wonderful thing. I encourage you to always listen to yours. Listening to mine has literally saved my children's lives. There is no one in the entire world who knows what is better for your littles than you. Trust yourself. All of that from ducks. Yes, that is the way my brain works.
The lighting was wrong but admiring came before pictures yesterday.
