    Talking My pop...

    Had to share

    We just got home from a weekend away for my Pop's 80th birthday.
    On the Saturday we all went to his place for dinner, where, as always, he pulled out the camera.

    He took photo's of everyone, then came up to me with little Summer on the boob & asked if he could take a photo. 'Its such a natural & beautiful thing' I told him it didn't bother me at all & he took a photo looking down over my shoulder.

    I thought it was so sweet. He is a very strict, straight person. Used to be a strict Catholic also, but hasn't attended church since we lost Grandma almost 8 years ago. While I knew he prefers BFing I expected him to ask me to sit inside or something to feed her, so it really suprised me.

    Anyway, I'm proud to know that even though he approves of pretty much nothing else we all do, he approves so much of me breastfeeding, lol.

    I thought I'd be given somewhere inside to sit or something.
    Not what I was expecting!
