Julie,
Congrats on the decision. It sounds like a great plan for your family. I am a SAHM so I don't know how much my advice will matter, but here's my 2 cents. My son, biological, prefers his dad. When he was a baby he LOVED me and loved to be held and cuddled by me, but definitely always liked his dad being around. I think this is because he has me ALL THE TIME! We are talking 24/7. Dad isn't here always, so when he is here, it is special. I mean he comes home every night and is here on the weekends, but he isn't constantly around like I am. We have noticed that if I have to leave home for an extended period of time, like a quick trip out of town, or even to run errands that takes up a big part of the day, my son seems so into me when I get back. He wants less to do with his dad because he's had him with him all that time. I hope this makes sense. I'm not always the best at explaining things.

I wish you all the best! Let us know how things go.

Tracy
