00:00 When Santiago is 19 months old, I, for the third time, pack our bags and take him with me on a work-related journey.
00:08 He's been throwing up for days and I'm terrified that he'll do so on one of our two plane rides to New York.
00:14 But he doesn't.
00:16 The screening of one of my documentaries at New York University goes beautifully.
00:20 Then it's two more planes and home.
00:23 He's eating more consistently now, the nursing only emotional.
00:27 So I know it's time to begin weaning him.
00:29 I want to stop and I don't want to stop.
00:32 It will be a complicated, beautiful, nostalgic month until that last nursing day.
