What are they, you ask?
My SUPER Mom Powers. I undoubtedly possess more, but here are just a few that I use on a regular basis:
Super translation power: My two year old talks all day long. Sometimes english, sometimes spanish, sometimes jibberish. But most of the time, I know exactly what she's talking about. Even with a pacifier in her mouth, even when no one else has any CLUE, I can translate her toddler-talk.
Super diaper changing power: I have three kids in diapers. To say we go through a lot of diapers is quite an understatement. But I am able to single-handedly* change all three babies all day long. Even my squirmy, active, hates-to-be-changed son, who some days has three dirty diapers before his morning nap alone.
*Please note that my husband does change his fair share of stinky diapers, but he's at work all day. :)
Super boo-boo fixing power: No matter the size or severity, a mere kiss from mom makes any boo boo "all better." Even when I don't see the affliction, my daughter readily lets me know it's there, and asks, "Kiss toe (or knee or arm or head...), Mama?" And so I kiss it, and she smiles and proclaims, "All better, toe (or knee or arm or head...)!!"
I may not be out fighting crime or defeating evil with these amazing super powers, but they certainly make me "Super Mom" to my kids. And that is enough for me. :)
I bet you are a wonderful super mommy!
