Today was no exception. The past few days, Aidan has been super duper active. He has been doing a lot of things that would just blow you up.

Come evening time, the time to slow down and sleep…Aidan started to rub his eyes, trying to deny that he was sleepy but you would know because of his slow reflexes. So, with a little persuasion, Aidan was able to sleep while having his dose of meme. After a while, he was bothered by his colds which needed to be released. Yikes, he was now awake…got up from the bed and suddenly cried! Poppa! Love ko Poppa ko! Oh no! What triggered this? It was the music that was being played while sleeping…a lullaby song which his Poppa usually sings to him. He missed his Poppa who was away and would be back after 5 more days. So, what did I do? I picked him up and cuddled him. I told him, “Momma’s here naman” and “I love you too. Don’t you love Momma?”. Guess what he answered…”No.” It strucked me. It kinda hurt. I guess I was still in postpartum stage where my emotions are still very much sensitive.

I cried a little bit and he saw my tears. AD suddenly told me, ” Momma, don’t cry.” And he wiped away my tears. I asked again if he loves Momma and still the answer was, “No.” So, I stopped asking.

After a while, when we are about to settle in again, he suddenly, embraced me and said, “Momma, love you.” He repeatedly said it several times and hugged me tightly. I don’t know what happened in between but I do remember reading articles where babies/ toddlers know and can feel what the mother is feeling.  Whatever it may be, at least I know that my toddler AD is sensitive to one’s feelings especially to his Momma.
