For every day that passes I get to know my boy better and better. I get to learn what triggers what, his likings and dislikings, how stubborn he is, how thirsty he is for knowledge, when he wants to be left alone or when he needs a cuddle. And at the same time he is getting to know me and how I function. So just as I love him no matter what, so does he. He doesn't judge me for my mistakes or think I'm less worthy of love if I'm a bit grumpy one day. Which makes it even more important that I can communicate with him and show him my emotions and reactions. And just like I would comfort him if he's upset, I can show him that mummy could use a cuddle aswell at some point.
Sure there's moments when my patience is tested and when it's a bit harder to remember that I love him. The times when I'm up all night, food is getting splattered all over the kitchen, tantrums are appearing at the most inconvenient times, he's dirtied his nappy just as I've dressed us to leave the house, well the list can go on. But the fact that I want to go through those moments with him and teach him something from them lets me know that unconditional love is real.
