Hahah! These are great! There is a thread on La Leche League on how you know you're nursing a preschooler. Here are some quotes from the thread!
____________________________________________________
...your daughter tells you that she's going to take your breast in to school on Monday share it with all her friends!!!
____________________________________________________
I just got one...when she complains to daddy that you don't want to nurse right now..."daddy, (gibberish) nurse?"
____________________________________________________
When he says, "No I undo the clips meme!!" or "Not milkie in my bed, milkie on the brown couch!" complete sentences and 3.5 years old, I never would have thought in a million years...
____________________________________________________
...you tell him 'it's not time for kikis right now' and he tries to persuade you by saying 'just a little kiki?' and demonstrating 'little' with his thumb and forefinger.
____________________________________________________
You've nursed every single one of your toddler's toys. Several times.
I understand that DS wants to share "mommy milk" with his "friends". He also likes to share whatever is in his cup and food during meals and snacks.
I really don't understand when he asked me to nurse his feet.
____________________________________________________
"Mommy, hold onto boobies?" (I had told him he couldn't nurse, but sometimes I let him touch them to go to sleep instead as a "security blanket")
I am sure going to have to stop calling them "boobies"!!!!
____________________________________________________
"Mommy, I am never going to stop nursing. Breastmilk is my favorite. Well, maybe I will be done nursing when I'm 4."
____________________________________________________
...Joshua tried to "refill" his milkies by offering them a sip of cows milk from a straw.
____________________________________________________
When your sister stops nursing her DD and your DD asks her for some boobie (she cross-nursed for me) and when your sister tell your DD her boobies don't make milk anymore your DD offers to fix her boobies with gorilla glue.
or when you offer milk as a drink and you get one raised eyebrow followed by "which milk" while eyeing your breasts
____________________________________________________
When the science lesson for the day includes anatomy of the breast...and is followed by a quick drink.
When the topic of conversation at the dinner table is mommy's "nursies" which are NOT called breasts but nursies.
____________________________________________________
When your boy who has been damaging them lately due to his inability to sit still with a mouth full of teeth and gets relatched very STERNLY several times a days comes over with his tongue out covering his teeth in the latch he can never seem to manage and says "Me promise just to LICK them Mommy No biting. Just one minute."
____________________________________________________
Not quite a preschooler but when your ds tells your dh :Stop! time to nurse, and then takes my hand and walks me to the couch.
Or when he asks to :Nursh peeez, and when you say not right now, he replies with: in a minute?
____________________________________________________
When he pulls off of one breast, wiggles around a little, mutters to himself, "switch it up" and then relatches on the other side
____________________________________________________
LOL! I have "nursed" my DD's toys multiple times... and had her offer boobs to Dada. She came off, called, "dada?" and got him to come over, then pointed madly at my boob. One time she offered him one while she drank the other.
... and one time she flipped my boob up and offered it to ME, saying, "Mama?"
____________________________________________________
We were shopping for Halloween costumes and my 2 1/2 year old saw a mannequin wearing a mermaid costume. He wanted me to lift him up so he could see the face and he pointed to the bikini top and said "that's for the milkies." HA! I thought the teenage clerk would die of embarrassment. Hilarity.

Hi, I'm new, but these all ring a bell! LOL!
When your son (of the sloppy latch and the nursing contortions that would make an acrobat proud, but almost rip your nipples off) considerately asks, "Dis na-na sore? OK, I use de other na-na......"
____________________________________________________
Your LO hugs your breast and happily announces "this MY mommy milk!"
____________________________________________________
You have company that he insists on nusing in front of after he gets down he walks over and announces "I drank ALL the noonie"!
____________________________________________________
There is a brief awed silence in the room when you bf in front of people who didn't know you were "still" nursing, but your nursling is totally oblivious to it.
____________________________________________________
You tell her it's not a good time to nurse and she says, "I rub it," followed by, "I eat it with my mouth."
____________________________________________________
You offer her something else to drink in an effort at distraction and she says, "But Mommy, I'm thirsty for BREASTMILK" as though you just didn't get it.
