The circus is in town this weekend. I was blessed enough to get free tickets from our local radio station, and was able to pass on 2 of the 4 to the mother of two girls who walked in right behind me to get the tickets. While we were at the circus itself, our son was cranky, and scared. He also didn't want his bottle, he wanted to nurse, which made sense since he had not seen me almost all day. I ended up sitting in the lobby area on a couch to nurse him, since there was not really anywhere else to go. No one said anything to me, and if they had asked me to leave, they could've gotten in trouble. In the state of OK, it is illegal to tell a nursing mom she can not nurse her child anywhere in public. I was being as discreet as possible which made it even more interesting as a father with his 3/4 year old son was nearby, and realized what I was doing.
Anyways, back to the circus stuff. It was fun, and when my son wasn't scared, hungry or sleepy, he was glued to it. He seemed especially into the animals. When we got home and were playing a little bit before bed, he sounded like he was growling like the tigers! It was so cute! We had fun overall, and it was great to get out of the house without having to spend anything besides money for parking.
Note to other nursing moms: there is not a place where you can privately nurse at the BOK Center in Tulsa. However, just remember that it is illegal for them to ask you to leave if you are nursing you child anywhere in public in the state of Oklahoma.
