Mama Powers I Possess.


A

s I grow into my role as a mother I’m discovering that I’ve got a little mama magic. A few little powers that no one else quite else has with Lacey {but I’m sure that many mothers do have with their own children}. Here are my latest findings:

♥ I can tell with the whiff of her wee little breath if she’s not feeling well. I can’t actually smell if her throat is sore, or she’s about to come down with something.

♥ I can tell, by placing my hand on her back, whether she’s above 37.5 degrees celcius or not.

♥ I can see into the future. I can tell whether she’s going to be a nightmare to settle or take out… or in general. I can tell when she’s cooking up a tantrum or diva like behaviour.
♥ Whilst on the topic of cooking, I can tell when she’s doing a poop just by looking at her. That little expression… It’s a giveaway.
♥ But actually on the real topic of cooking… I can tell when she’s not going to like a particular new food. Most of the time. Well, some of the time. Sometimes she pleasantly surprises me.
♥ And I know for sure… that each and every day… she’ll make me laugh, make my heart swell with pride, want to be attached to me for 99% of the day {the girl has to be touching me every minute of the day – she has no idea about personal space! :P}, she’ll surprise me, delight me… and teach me something new. She’ll remind how great it is to be a mama.

  1. I'm not a mama (someday hopefully!), and am terribly jealous of the fever detecting ability! That's something every mama I've ever known has and I hope I get it too!

  2. Aurelia has the exact same little shirt and wears it with a white skivvy and black pants as well!!

    I have the same breath smelling super power – hubby just looks at me. I also have super braiding, pig tails super powers and she is toilet training most succesfully on her days with mummy. Daddy REALLY wishes he had that super power.

    I also have a magic super power blow for when she bumps and hurts herself.

  3. Yes I'm a mama and I too have similar powers.
    I am lucky to have these powers because they dint only come in handy with my own children they come in handy at Kindy. With just one look I can tell when something is not right with a child at work to.

    Aren't we special?

  4. I have those powers too! I didn't even realise until I read this….. Sometimes it annoys C's dad that I know exactly how he'll react to something, or exactly what is in store for a particlar outing or night. I also have a magical kiss and cuddle that can make pain and sadness dissappear!

  5. Yes to all of those; I know when a new experience that Dardo SHOULD love will just be scary for him (looking at you, steam trains), I know when he's not feeling well even though he's playing as per usual, I know what sort of children's movies he'll like or not like.

    And as a bonus magic power, even though I'm mum to a lil boy, there's something about me that lil girls love. I collect my son from childcare and all the girls swamp me, or if I'm shopping with him little girls will come over and talk to me. When I was teaching, other teachers would ask me to take their notoriously chaotic classes – and the girls would all just settle and sit around me and we'd just chill and talk. I bet if I ever have daughters it'll go the opposite way!

  10. What a cute post Chantelle. I think we all have a little Mama Magic or Mama Powers when it comes to our kids. I know that there only things I can help my kids with because I'm the Mama and I love it that way. Love the picture of Lacey and the shirt she is wearing … too cute. Cassie x

  12. oh yes the little face as they do a poo! it cracks me up, finn is so expressive whereas tillie finds a little corner for privacy while she does it in her nappy! sooo funny
