My Son Loves His Baby Doll — And This Is Why I Love That

He also plays rough and gets really dirty. Henry laughs at fart noises, plays in mud, and could talk all day about dinosaurs. He doesn’t think of those things as activities for boys any more than he thinks of playing with dolls as an activity for girls. He just knows what he likes.

If you ask him what he wants to be when he grows up, he will tell you he either wants to be a paleontologist or a deep-sea diving scientist. And a daddy. Always a daddy. He talks about his future family as often as I talked about mine at his age. The thing I find so beautiful about it, though, is that he often expresses an interest in being aIf that desire stays in his heart, I hope he gets a chance to see it through. Being a stay-at-home parent was always the dream in my heart, and I’m living that dream right now. I want that for him.

At some point, it might make emotional or financial sense for one or both of my sons to be the stay-at-home parent in their future families while their partner works. Instead of seeing that as a weak choice or a “failure to provide” for their family, I want our kids to see it as a totally valid and commendable way to spend their time. Fatherhood — even if it’s your only job — does not take away from one’s identity as a man.

My husband isn’t the perfect man by any stretch. He drives me bananas, and I drive him just as bonkers. We make a good team, but we have our flaws. I’m not trying to paint some kind of impossibly perfect picture. Our life can be a total shitshow like everyone else’s.

Raising sons to be proud and loving fathers❤️ I went into my sons room this morning to find his “baby” carefully wrapped up in a blanket tucked into bed. He has such a big caring heart and I encourage him to show it. If we want to see empathetic men we need to raise caring boys.

My son loved dolls, and still loves stuffed animals. My daughter never liked either. [shrug] People are who they are.
