2yr old personalizes breasts...anyone else?

[inkedmamajama]

my almost 2 and half year old daughter is still nursing-oh boy is she still nursing! she not only nurses with the same frequency as a one year old, but she has taken to personalizing my breasts-she calls them her friends, has conversations with them, kisses and hugs them, and then last night there was this exchange while nursing to sleep:

me: freya dont pinch my nipple (while nursing one side, she will try to pinch my other nipple-so i often cover that nipple with my hand so she cant pinch it)

freya: (while trying to pull my hand off my nipple) no-youll hurt him, youll hurt him!

me: freya, its my body and its my nipple, stop doing that

freya: no youre hurting him!!!!


********************

i know its kind of funny, and im not 'worried' about it-but it can get very tiring. in the past week she has said- "what do you think nipple?" to my chest more than once, she always hugs my nipples and says "best friends" etc...

none of my other daughters were like this with nursing (and I nursed them both for years)

please tell me I'm not alone in this!

(also-why are my nipples male? lol)

lol, that is so funny!
I am also still nursing my 2 year old, and although she hasn't talked to them, she does kiss my nipples all the time, and also nurses like a 1 year old whenever we are home. She has "labeled" them too- one is the "big tzee tzee" (its the one she always preferred to nurse from, hence it is a bit bigger...) and the other is "other side".
Anytime she has stickers she tries to put them on by breasts...so obviously they are very treasured

At least you know she has a good imagination- this too will pass and will be a funny memory

DS just recently started greeting the boobies, "Hi, Boobies!" when they make an appearance, along with the occasional kiss or pat. It's kinda good though, because when I need to be all done with nursing, I can tell him that the boobies are tired and need to go to sleep now and then they say, "Goodnight, kiddo!" to him.
