What wonderful stories, thank you so much for sharing
My gf has the yummiest little man who loves cuddles & kisses, then is an excitable boy playing rough with daddy, then likes snuggles again. Very precious!!
My little man isn't quite one yet and I've had so many people comment on how much of a cuddle pot he is. I love when he snuggles up to me and rests his head in the crook of my neck. At the same time though he is a boys boy, he does everything with gusto, he loves his trucks and blocks and is very confident with other kids.
I just love him so much and I hope I'm still getting my cuddles in 20 years time.
Given that I have both genders... 1 girl and 2 boys (and I was a bit freaked out when I was told I was having a boy the first time) I can safely say that you are going to love having a son. My boys are very different: my older boy is gentle and quiet... my youngest is chatty and active. But Both are big on affection.
Raising Boys by Steve Biddolph will give you some good insight on what it's like to have a boy. They are meant to go throught stages of being mummy's boys and daddy's son! this correlates with their hormonal development... it's healthly and natural. Some families try to mess around with this process and insist that their sons stay one or the other. Some dad's never want their sons to appear "wussy" or ever be a mummy's boy. This can cause real problems, especially in how the boy relates to women in the future, for example.
Anyhow... going off topic... relax you are about to fall in love all over again!!!
I was so worried about having a boy. I had real fears... mainly, because my DH is so charasmatic and fun. He's great at every sport and kids just adore him where ever he goes. What if he didn't love me as much as his Daddy? What if he only wanted to be with his Daddy and do "boy" things? My son is SO loving and sweet towards his Mummy and his Daddy. He loves cuddles and especially kisses. He loves falling asleep in my arms and only sleeps snuggled up tight next to me when he comes in our bed. He's always involving me in his play, bringing me toys or books to read with him. I adore having a son and wouldn't have it any other way!
Celsie,
yes that is what I have been worried about also. My DH is the same as yours so very good at sport and building things and fixing things. I am worried that he and our little man will be as thick as thieves and I will be sitting back missing out. Needless to say my DH has the same attraction with kids and dogs. They all flock to him. If we are in the car at a set of lights and there is a car full of kids next to us they always wave and smile at him. Its amazing. Oh and my dog, when I bought her home at just 8 weeks of age she immediately started following her daddy around. She loves him and wont take her eyes of him. She is a daddy's girl for sure.
Puppies - our son adores his Daddy and they have lots and lots of fun together, but there are times where he just wants Mummy too. I think he needs "down" time from Daddy, as when they play together it's always full on and full of energy and excitement. When we play, it's much quieter and more relaxed. I think they need that balance. My DS is Mummy's boy, but I expect as he grows, he'll be Daddy's boy too. Don't worry, your little man is going to love you more than anything.
