Ok, you win!
My dd is down to nursing maybe 3 times a day, and those are usually very brief. She'll come up and tell me somewhat sadly -- mostly mock sadly -- "Nope, no milk." I made the mistake of telling her I was going to get some new orange milk eventually (I've been carefully avoiding connecting this milk crisis with the baby, though). So about 15 minutes later, she said, "Do you have orange milk yet? I want to check."
As much as I hate it, I guess there must be something to this nature thing, because our relationship feels like it's changing. I remember still worrying just a little bit, a few weeks ago, about things like how they would both fit right next to me in bed. Dd found out that tiny babies don't eat food, they just nurse a lot, and she informed me that she didn't want to share my breasts. I spent a lot of time sort of dreamily enjoying her remaining babylikeness. Now she's become more like a co-conspirator, and she recently (without our having talked about it since the first time) announced that she's decided she will share my breasts, after all.
