This super hero craze got me thinking about how as a mom I have a special set of super powers as well.
Here are some of the super powers I've discovered and honed over the past 4 yrs. In no particular order:
1. Night vision - the ability to find blankies , pjs, blankets and bottles in the dark. As well as to walk down stairs to heat bottles without switching on a light or stepping on toys.
2. Magic healing power - the ability to go any owie with a plaster or a kiss and cuddle. Although CG often tells me it's too sore for a kiss.
3. Super strength - the ability to wear my baby all day because she won't sleep any other way, to carry my 2 and 4 yr olds down the stairs, to carry bikes and or children around the shops or park.
4. Snack attack - the ability to pull a snack out of thin air when someone is very grumpy (sometimes thin air is the bottom of my handbag where said snack has been for months).
5. Blood hound sense of smell - the ability to smell when your child has a poo nappy in amongst a whole group of toddlers or babies.
6. Wakefulness power - the ability to stay awake and function on extremely small amounts of sleep.
7. Shape shifting - the ability to turn yourself into different people according to the situation; carer, nurse, cool, cleaner, educator, wife, friend and the list continues.
8. Imagination power - the ability to distract a child with the things around you or what you have in your handbag when they are bored in a queue (at Dischem most often).
9. Super hearing - the ability to pick out your child's cry or scream in a playground full of children.
10.Hidden vegetable power - the ability to hide veggies in seemingly kid friendly dishes like speghetti bolognaise and cake (I'm still working on this power).
