Yeah, I know. Its really cool. We can make dinner, play a game of Candy Land, comfort a small child, do a load of laundry, put away clean dishes, color a picture and still be able to maintain some sort of sanity. If that is not super then I don't know what is.
I really do like being a mommy. It is a really fun, although extremely difficult, job. Through all the challenges, I think that you have to look for the little things to fuel those mommy super powers.
Like when Claire runs up to me after I leave the room and says, "I miss you, Mommy. I love you, too." It just melts my heart when she throws her little arms around me and squeezes my neck. Each of the kids are great a giving hugs and telling me of their love for me. It is enough to make me a big pile of Mommy mush.
It is a good things that my kids keep fueling my mommy super powers because they sure do use them a lot too. Especially, the power where I can make any hurt or owie feel better.
I never realized before I was a mom the power that my kisses would hold. I never knew that a simple kiss from me could make any owie instantly feel better. No matter how serious, all that my kids want is a kiss. For example, when Quinn bit through his lip, I applied a cold cloth and pressure to stop the bleeding but Quinn still howled a way until I had given him a kiss.
Now I know that this sounds so sweet but my kids have taken the fact that I have this 'power' and pushed it to the extreme.
What I mean by this is that at 2am I will hear Quinn cry out. He is not crying for a pacifier, a cup of milk or because he had a bad dream. No, he is cry for a kiss. Somehow he has hurt his finger and wants a Mommy kiss to make it feel better. Nothing else will quiet him down. He will cry and howl louder and louder until he is give his kiss.
Normally, I give out my kisses freely. I will give each child kiss upon kiss upon. I am glad to make them feel better. But in the middle of the night, when I am woken from a sound sleep. I have a little issue with this.
Maybe I need to share some of my super powers with him for night so he can just kiss his own finger. Then again, I think that this is not going to be the same.

I think I am going to have to teach him about timing so the next time I don't look like I am getting my nose picked.

too cute. You are so right...Superman has nothing on us mommies!
That is awesome! But, I think that is a great idea to give them their own super powers:-) Imagine how powerful you would seem then...mommy not only has super powers but gives super powers:-)
You are so right...a Mommy's kiss is the most powerful skill we have!!
Love the picture!! It's cute that you gave Hayden credit for taking it!
Kisses are amazing. If Tristan hurts himself or gets hurt, I just ask "can I kiss it" and he'll give me whatever part is hurting (his head, hand, etc). Then I kiss and we say "all better." Works wonders!
That is so sweet! And while it would be annoying at 2:00 AM just have to somehow try and remember this won't last nearly long enough.
That just brought back a memory. When I would give Blake a swat for being a stinker, he would always want me to kiss it better afterwards. I always thought that was so funny. Then if I wouldn't do it, he would kiss his hand and pat his own butt. How can you stay mad at a kid like that?
Mommies definitely have super powers!
I think I remember a girlfriend (or someone famous) saying once that you can grant your powers to a stuffed animal they sleep with so they can comfort them at night. We never had sleep problems, but I'd be searching for SOMETHING if just a kiss was dragging me from bed :) You are Super Mom, though. I love the photo
But that is the sweetest picture, nose pick and all!
I can tell Hayden is a photographer in the making.
I wouldn't love the screaming for a kiss in the middle of the night though.
Love it! My oldest definitely thinks I have superpowers and I tell him the more veggies he eats, the more powers he'll get ;D
Those little hugs do indeed turn me to mush! Every now and then Paige cries out for what seems to be a needed cuddle session...just not always the best timing!
:)
Too cute!
There is nothing like the comfort from a mommy (even for us too, right? i still always go to my mom when I need to feel lifted...)
I think your post is the most favouritist part of mummyhood. I love how powerful the 'little' things are! It's awesome!
Oh mommy! That is so cute. I also believe in super mommy kisses.
Maybe you could put some "mommy kisses" in a plastic bowl, so they could get one in the middle of the night if needed.
Never know, it just might work...
I LOVE the power of mommy kisses! This is such a sweet post. :)
Super Mommy kisses are the best!
