Awh hunter these feelings are so validated! Completely normal for you guys to have these feelings and emotions. So proud of you guys! And its so great letting him have such a great opportunity! You did great hunter, ao obvious you are an incredible dad! ❤️
Hunter, don't apologize for your feelings. Any good parent in your position would feel the same, it goes with the special territory. All of those feelings are valid. Thank you for sharing this special time with us, my eyes might be leaking too. It is obvious you are both grateful that Beckham has done so well that preschool is an option! He is making so much progress! School is going to help your family do the most for Beckham possible. He has such a bright future!! This is the beginning of the next bright step for Beckham!!
Once you have kids …you will wear your heart on the outside of your body for life. I totally understand. I was cracking up when you said if he would’ve been upset you would take him out of there and flee the state!.. Hang in there, it will be so wonderful for Beckham and his awesome parents. It takes a little time to adjust. ❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
Yes, our little Blakers is so empathetic, sitting in her carseat and putting her arms out to hug her Daddy...what a wonderful babe
Omg I was crying with you hunter. I remember that feeling when I had to take my special needs son to school. I think you being so open and raw is very admirable. I also think it was awesome so other dads can see its normal feelings. It does get easier x
Hunter, you're just like the rest of us. It's so hard to put your children in the care of others. There is nothing wrong with your emotions, it shows you're human. You're a great dad!!
Tha t first day is soooo emotional. One thing you might want to add to his backpack is a change of clothes. It has come into good use for you son. Blackley is going to looove the 1:1 time she gets while her brother is at school-so special!
I cried right there with Hunter. My 2 year old has Autism and is nonverbal so I already am feeling anxiety about his first day at preschool.
I hope all goes ok for you both. my daughter is autistic and has ADHD and was non verbal the first few years and is now a chatter box but with no filter. so I was a mess also. she's 10 in 2 weeks and just started a new school and I was again,a mess. she loves it and my fears were for nothing. it gets easier I promise xx take care xx
Aww when Hunter was tearing up, Blakey put her hands out to him 🥹
I am in tears! It will be so so good for him but it’s so hard! My grandson was born at 32 weeks and was in NICU for 6 weeks! He just went off to the university of Iowa! And it was so hard in me! But so good for him!
That is so nice that they write in a notebook for you so that you know how Beckham did and also that they send you pictures!
As a “helicopter” mom. I give you so much credit Hunter.
I love how much you care Hunter. It is 100% valid the emotions you are feeling and I can 1000% relate.
Oh Hunter, you are such a great dad! I totaly understand that the trauma is coming up. I still have these Moments from time to time with my preemies (they turned 6 this mom).
Awww blakely in the background at 9.05, she noticed her dad was upset and was offering a cuddle
It shows u r the best father for Beckham.
I'm glad the teachers are sending photos to you 💓
I am OBSESSED with today’s Vlog!
I already planned on leaving a message for Hunter: I’m so sorry you don’t like crying on camera. I had goosebumps when you WERE
crying. We all SO get it! I think it’s callous when parents DON’T cry at milestones like this! I’m a helicopter parent too! I learned it from my mom. She lost her sister at 7 (my mom was 3) to polio. She was raised with the “it CAN happen to you” mentality. So THEN I have my son and when he was 2-1/2 I lost my husband in a car accident. (20 years ago!) I still have trauma and PTSD. (I thought that was only for soldiers!)
SOOO…if today took you back to the NICU…just think how traumatic that time was for you? Almost losing your world!? It’s TOTALLY understandable for you to be hesitant! AND you said most of us have been through this. Ya, but not the history you have had. God bless you. It just shows how much you adore your little family! I LOVED Blakely reaching for you when you put your head on the steering wheel! And also wondering how Rachel is going to get through that footage? She’s gonna be a mess! 😪😘😜
I’d love to see his school! It sounds amazing-but yeah-definitely the focus should just be on Bubba for you guys right now. And Blakely! It’s a huge change for her! I was wondering if she kept saying BUBBA, Hunter…if she thought you forgot him somewhere!? She looked VERY concerned! 🥰 I love your family and get so excited with new videos! You’re my FAVORITE!!! ♥️
I have some stuff in my life I have anxiety over and today I’m going to be BRAVE LIKE BECKHAM and face those fears today!! ♥️♥️♥️
There are little Keychain recording devices you can buy and you put them on the kids backpack. They have audio, or video. If i had a non-verbal child I'd absolutely hook one up to my kids back pack.
The hardest role as a parent, is trusting people to love your children as much as you do. I feel for you xx
Well said!
I work in an ABA school. You have concerns and it’s valid. If I was a parent I would want my child to have the best experience, learn loads and be in a safe happy environment. I would suggest asking for updates from the teacher like pictures of what he’s working on and email/text/phone conversations if you have any concerns etc. Maybe ask to go and observe if you are able to. Not sure if they have meetings about progress also ask about that you can bring up things you want Beckham to work on or want for your child’s experience. See if they meet you half way. I know my place does. See if there is a social worker or something like that to talk to about resources like groups of other parents or even to talk to. Happy to talk about it more also! I know he’s going to do amazing!!!
You are such a great father Hunter! You have a true right to feel this way! I commend you for being so honest! Thanks for sharing, and I'm sure little man will have so much fun!
Awwww..... Hunter, you are such an amazing dad to your sweet babies. I'm so glad that you were able to share with us this vulnerable side of you... it just makes us love you even more!! Beckham is going to do amazing in preschool! He's going to soar!!! It is hard to let go of our babies!!! I'm sure it's much harder with a special needs little one! Love your sweet family so much! You all ROCK!! ❤️❤️
Oh Hunter, I feel your fear. Beckham is so strong, and I am so wishing you such strength for him! I know from the time he was born your anxiety for him and his new endeavors with school!
I love how you are being a great daddy. Beckham will flourish and you will all get through this. You just love your babies and are vulnerable. You got this dad, Blakley will love the special attention, this will provide. And it's just part of being a parent, so natural, when handing over your babies♡♡♡♡
You are not weak to show emotions. It is a scary thing to put our children in other people's hands. I am sure he will be fine! Blakely asking for him brought tears to my eyes. She is so sweet!
Hunter never apologize for being a caring, loving father!
AAAAAWWWW Hunter there is nothing wrong with showing your emotions.I know exactly how you feel and waht you are getting at as far as Beckham not being able to communicate and leaving him with strangers.I have a daughter that is non verbal and has downs syndrome and I was a complete mess when she started school.Hang in there it will get better and I bet that Beckham will rock at pre school.
It is such a big step as a parent to hand your child's care over to someone you don't know-I can only imagine how much worse it would be given that Beckham has special needs.Thank you for sharing
Esta es la primera de muchas pequeñas separaciones en el camino a la independencia. Es difícil dejar a nuestros pollitos🐥🧡
Hunter you doing a good job let me tell you I cry when my daughter went to preschool Kinder and first grade this year and it's perfectly normal it's so hard to put our children in somebody else care he is going to have fun and learn he is going to be happy happy in preschool❤️❤️
I haf a special notebook that my son would bring back and forth between the school and home. Lol before tablets. But it helped me feel more comfortable because we could share what he did each day. Your awesome parents and Beckham will learn so much. My baby is 22 now but i still have anxiety if he isn't with me♥️
I don't know who made up that rule that men shouldn't cry but it isn't right. Weather it's in public or not. It's ok for annyone to cry. Hunter you dod great! Keep up the good work. Youre supper dad.
Aww Hunter there is no need to apologize for your emotions. Completely normal emotion especially when our kids make that transition to go to school.
Love you guys ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Hunter for feeling the fear and doing it anyway , becoming vulnerable and especially with TH-cam world adds another aspect to it. All those feelings you’re feeling is very understandable, seeing Beckham in the Nicu to watching him thrive and hit those milestones at home to now being ready to attend pre school 🎉 so many mixed emotions. You and Rachael are so in tune with your children, their needs, & meeting them where they are at. You really haven’t made it about you. Thank you sharing your beautiful family with us all. You’re all blessings in this world. 🙏🏼💙💫🫶🏼 #bravelikeHughesFamily 💜
Thank you for sharing your beautiful child with us.
Hunter, Thank you for sharing, my husband and I watch you guys and its so refreshing to see you share honestly and for us to have other people to relate to!
As a parent, that first day of school, all of a sudden you realize you can't be there to watch over your child and protect them from the world. With a special needs child I cannot imagine how much more stressful it must be to relinquish the care of your child to others. God bless you Hunter. Know God is watching you and taking care of all of you. Beckham deserves a chance to develop and grow his own inner resources to deal with the outside world. As Beckham grows in his strength, you will grow in your confidence that he will be ok. You will learn to trust him and others who come in contact with Beckham. As always, your own good instincts as a parent are so important. So don't ever discount or ignore any concerns. You guys are awesome!!
I can understand your feelings as great parents but I feel emotional too as wish best for him and Blakely.
Hunter its ok to be sad we understand sweetie. You don't have to apologize to Anyone sweet heart, we all kinda understand what you are going through when we put our kids in school but I didn't have a special needs child. You are a wonderful dad. But be strong like Beckham!!! 😘
Thank you so much for sharing this!! I am currently struggling to send my 3yr old special needs son to pre-k. Our little boys seem very similar as far as needs. I share the same fears and reservations as you. Thank you for sharing your family’s story.
You are the best husband and dad Hunter!!! I love a man who can show his emotions!! xx
Hunter is a great dad. Beckham will do so great. So happy for you guys. I know it's a big step.
Hunter! You’re the sweetest Dad in the world! It was so refreshing to see and hear you speak about your emotions and how this whole day made you feel. Thank you for sharing this side of you with us💕 You’re just the best, & I wish there were more Hunter’s in the world!😭😭
I’m sorry Hunter. We all love Beckham a lot and we know that this will help him so much. Personally I would have been crying a lot. All your concerns are valid and being anxious is terrible. All I can say is that you guys are the best parents that our little buddy and Blakers have. God bless you Hunter for the person that you’re. A good husband and excellent father. I know that Rach must have cried also. God Bless you all. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I have been following your channel for quite a while now (I even went back to watch every vlog from the start to catch up) and I firstly want to apologize that I don’t comment very often 🥺 But this vlog specifically I felt the need to comment. I am sincerely soooo freaking proud of Hunter for opening up and being completely transparent and vulnerable on camera. That takes true bravery and courage and I now have even more respect for him as a father and as a man. I know it’s hard to be open about difficult emotions, especially those that stem from ptsd. I just wanted to say that I couldn’t be more proud of Hunter (and of course I’m super proud of you too Rach!) Beckham and Blakely are so incredibly lucky and blessed to have you both as their parents! 🥰
As always, sending so much love and light to the Hughes!! 💕
Such an amazing father!! My father was/is the complete opposite of Hunter. It is truly inspiring for a man to show his emotions, especially about the love for his children. Hunter, you are a rarity and that is a good thing. Those kids will always know the love and adoration their father has for them. Keep up the good work!
You are doing great hunter. Proud of you
You broke my heart Hunter. I can only imagine what you are feeling. But be sure he is in good hands. And it will do him a ton of good. It's ok to feel emitional and anxious. YOU ARE AN AMAZING FATHER. GOD BLESS YOU🙏🙏.
Great Job Hunter. You are such a amazing Dad. Way to go.
Hunter is awesome. Totally valid anxieties. And it's great to see that we all get anxiety about things we can't control. You are a great dad Hunter!
So emotional watching and listening to Hunter! That’s huge and scary but I’m excited for all of you in Beckham’s new school journey ❤️
Thanks for keeping it real Hunter.... You have an amazing family. Love watching you all ♥
Let Hunter know that there is absolutely nothing wrong with him getting emotional or being a helicopter Dad as he called it... I can relate with you all on the having anxiety from nicu and it does get triggered sometimes... I think it's great that he was able to be the one to take him his first day so he could see himself that Beckham would be OK and five years from now when you see how far he has come and the progress he has made you will both be so happy that you did this for him! I think your both great parents and I think its great that you do share your lives like you do because you give other people that could be just starting out going thru similar things that there is a light at the end so to speak!! So happy for all of you and congrats on his first day of preschool!!
The entire time Hunter’s trying to have a heart to heart with us and Blakely’s screaming, I just keep imagining Blakely screaming “Witness me! I demand to be heard!”.
Hunter, I want to give you a big hug, your such a lovely man, you show those tears, it makes us love you even more, and don't be thinking it's just you, my babies are 31 & 32 and I still remember there first days, scared for life. Take care xoxo
Good Dad, you are so awesome, great Dad🙏❤️✨⭐️
I just dropped my daughter off at her first week of preschool this week. She’s a typical child and it’s still the hardest thing ever for me I couldn’t imagine how hard it would be for you guys. So much love and hugs during this transition! It’s been so fun but so tiring here ❤️
Such a wonderful Dad!
Hunter, you are an amazing man and father and are entitled to have all these feelings.
I admire you for opening up to us all ,thank you so much for doing so 💗
Hunter and Rachel your wonderful parents ❤ ♥
So awesome for Beckham! I appreciate you sharing your feelings with us, and Love how Blakely kept talking about Brother!! Wishing your family the very best. ❤️
Hunter you did great!
And what a wonderful daddy also!
Hunter it's ok to show your emotions. Blakely calling for Beckham was so sweet
You’re such a great dad!
Beckham Will developetvery much he is so brave he wil fix it good Beckham go go go for it Beckham
It's a big adjustment for you all. These emotions are normal, it shows how much you love and care for your kids ❤️
Love you guys and think all of us parents totally understand the emotions!💕
👏🏽🤛🏿💪🏾you’re doing great
I understand. The world is a scary place but that is why you are preparing him for life. The more tools he can develop the more equipped he will be.
Hi Rachel and Hunter I understand how emotional it was, it’s hard to let our babes go especially after what you guys went through, it’s such a big step for him and he’ll benefit so much sending my love 💕
What a fortunate family you have, to have such a great dad, who loves and cares for them the way you do❤
Hunter you are not being a baby, you are being an incredible father. You and Rachel have had to go through Hell to keep him here in this world, so it feels out of control and scary to hand his life over to others who you pray will
show him the same type of love and respect that you do.
Also very darling when you cried and Blakely was so concerned about you. You are an amazing father to both your babies and they will flourish because of the two of you. ❤
Hunter you are acting like a real genuine loving father. I wish more fathers would express themselves like you do. ❤❤❤❤
Full respect to you mate a great man show his emotions but it takes an even greater man to show them mate ❤
Have a good day bud
my dad dropped off my sister at PreK. She was in the NICK U for 6 months. He cried like a baby when he dropped her off
my dad made her cry
My daughter was 7w premature she stayed in the NICU for 3w 2 hours away from where I live and I only got to see her a few times a week and I had mad anxiety... Well she started her first day of kindergarten on her 5th bday and that was extremely hard for me I felt like the worst mother ever to mAke her go that day and she is a child who does not get watched by anyone but family to this day never went to pre k or daycare but yeah we went to her class and we stayed for 45m and I think that made it worse because when the teacher said ok parents you can go that when she started to get upset and then I started to get upset it took all of me not to cry and show my emotions so I didn't upset her more but she made it threw even though she told me she cried off and on that day and yeah I had issues all kindergarten yr with her but she is 7 and in 2nd grade and is doing amazing but I do feel you on letting him go and be out of your care I hated it with my child but it does get easier 😊
Don't worry Hunter I have five kids and I cried every time I dropped them off. You're the best dad every
Hunter you are both amazing people and parents. God Bless
You will be good in a hour. We have all had a day like you are having ❤️⭐️✨
Hunter we love you!!! It's okay to be emotional and we are all here for yoi

Remember Hunter your a human being first before you are a man.
You are very valid in your emotions. 💗
Good luck Beckham in preschool

All kids need preschool to be with other kids and get them ready for kindergarten etc makes it easier for them to transition to kindergarten

Rachael your left eye looks red again---better have it checked out again!
What happened to your eye, it looks red? I hope it doesn't hurt. Hunter I know this is hard, Beckham is your first and you went through so much. But trust me it will get easier and this will be really good for Beckham
So cute ms.blakely 😀
