Surviving the Domestic Jungle

When my husband says his son is his ‘pride and joy’, it melts my heart. When he brags to people how healthy , big, smart and handsome he is, it melts my heart even more. I know he loves our daughter insane amounts as she is a daddies girl but to hear your husband refer to your son as his pride and joy is so special. I think having your son grow up with his father is so important. Now, what makes a father is definitely up for debate. Fathers come in all forms. When my husband holds our son and talks to him and makes him smile, it is so cute. My husband is smiling ear to ear and the funny thing is, my husband has dimples when he smiles and so does Hudson so its the same smile smiling back at each other! My kids both adore their father which tells me I made the right choice in the daddy dept. My oldest also loves him and has a lot of fun with him. I can honestly say, he treats her exactly how he treats my other daughter, both as his own. When we found out we were having a boy, we were thrilled and shocked all at the same time. When Hudson arrived, I could see on my husbands face how happy he was to have a son. He is the little prince of our family, he is also the first boy grandchild so he is extra special. Hudson has no choice but to be good to women considering he is surrounded! It was cute when we went to the party the other night for my niece, my husband dressed them the same. A little cheesy but it is the little things like that, that tell me he is so happy to have a son. As Hudson grows, I know they are going to be best buds. That is, if mommy can let him go! I am forcing him to be a mama’s boy because my oldest is so independent now and Hailey is such a daddies girl, I need one of them to be a mama’s something! When my daughter Hailey sees her dad, you would think a rock star walked through the door. Do I get that reaction? Nope. Im just mom but that’s ok. I know when it comes down to it, mommy is always the go to for scraped knees and bad dreams. We love our kids so much and make them the center of our universe. They are our driving force to do better and get better and have better. I feel like now that my husband has a son to lead into manhood, he really wants to be the best he can be. I see him trying and putting himself out there to do better for our family and I love him for it.
