STOP IT! All you carnival women keep making me cry! :) This is a beautiful letter, sounds like something I would write to my own hubby. (Although, you write MUCH more eloquently than I!) Keep cherishing your husband the way you do. We are very blessed women.

Keep writing!

I love that he wore the pink and orange sling! My husband didn’t get into the slings, not because of the colour, but because he had concerns about ‘their safety’, but apparently safety wasn’t an issue if I was wearing the sling. Although he did love wearing our daughter in the baby carrier.

That was really cute. Makes me think about what I have to look forward to with Peanut growing up. Maybe if I write another letter a year from now it will look like this one!

What a beautiful letter to your husband. That would be one awesome Hallmark card.

Beautiful and heartwarming letter. Kieran is lucky to have you two as parents.

/sniff. That was really beautiful! I had to laugh out loud that he wears the pink tiedyed wraps. My DH wouldn’t touch it and it was BROWN! With a supportive partner our “weird” choices don’t seem weird anymore and that’s the best gift our DHs give us.

I think my hubby feels that way too, Michelle ;) It’s just a normalization process!

Wow. That’s the word that comes to my mind. Your husband has clearly been such an important partner on your motherhood journey. I want to share this letter with my husband as I think that he will not only recognize some of the things he has offered to me (I should really write him a letter like this) but also because I hope it will allow him to go even deeper with me in growing as a parent. Sometimes I feel like he thinks I am taking things to an extreme. Hearing just how important support is from a partner may help him to recognize that each choice builds to a whole. Thank you.

Thank you Chrystal!
Even when parents aren’t living under the same roof it is so important to have a respectful, coherent parenting relationship.

Very sweet letter Dionna. It’s great being married to a supportive man, especially when it comes to parenting. Kids see how their parents interact and know whether they are a team or not – it’s so important for our kids to see us as a team!
