I am a big fan of attachment parenting. Ever since I heard about it when I was pregnant I knew that is how we were going to raise Peanut. It just seemed natural. I love that Peanut has made her on schedule and that we get to enjoy so much time together. I feel like we have really been able to bond.
One of the struggles I have had is finding balance in our life sometimes. As amazing as it is to spend so much time with our daughter, it is also important for us to spend time together as a couple. Our most recent solution to this is date nights at home. Peanut goes to bed around 6:30 so we have the rest of the evening to spend together. We can eat, play games, watch a movie, or just catch up and talk. I have missed having time with James and since we have started this things have been so great.
I also love the closeness we get to share when I wear her in the wrap or mei-tai. It is fun to have her cuddled up to me as we experience the world together. I love that I am able to do tasks such as housework or cooking and not miss out on time with Peanut. I am so glad that attachement parenting introduced me to babywearing.
