Ella was playing with her baby, Lucy, in her toy room a couple of days ago. She wanted me to get her Lucy's pillow. I was looking for it but noticed that she was pulling up the side of her shirt. She has had some problems with dry skin during the winter so I asked her if she needed lotion. She told me no and continued to tell me to find her baby's pillow. Pete came in and noticed the same thing and asked her if she needed lotion. She told him no - that I was getting Lucy's pillow. I found the pillow, gave it to her. She laid it on her lap, laid Lucy on it, pulled up her shirt and let Lucy lay there. Yep, she was breastfeeding Lucy. Pete and I both tried not to laugh. Later that evening I talked to her babysitter on the phone and mentioned it to her. Barbara told me that the day that she brought Lucy along that Ella was sitting on the couch carrying on a conversation with Barbara and started to nurse Lucy during the conversation. She never broke conversation. Barbara said that she also continued to talk like normal. I guess that Ella figures if that's how Kate eats, must be okay for her baby too!
