My apologies for the edit. I realized my mistake in referring to her age and took the appropriate action to fix the age error. I was thinking about the nursing for seven years while typing about the age... thank you for the advice.

I did have a frisky male in the bunch. Yet, all of the ladies, save for 5 of them, are still nursing. Perhaps they are over-protective and want to reassure their little ones that they are just as special as the "special" one.

I have decided that my Special Mali's name is an abbreviation for Malice, as she has now discovered how to make parties and is continually distracting all of my hard workers. I hope that she will be "special" in the sense that I had anticipated... instead of "special" in that she is flighty and scatter-brained. Pray for her please.
