What's your super power?

I can wrangle two strong, untrained dogs and a preschooler while crossing M St. in Georgetown during rush hour and not get hit, or killed.

I can sweep ALL of the MOUNDS of crumbs under the table every day using one slightly damp paper towel, with one pass!

I can make it "all better".

I can look at my DD taking off from me in Target all the while screaming at the top of her lungs...and remember how sweet and cute she really is.

I can have food thrown at me, my earrings pulled from my ears, poop smeared on me, my sleep taken from me, my professional life put on hold, ...and still remember how sweet and cute DD really is...

Oh & I can endure the financial, physical & emotional strain of engaging in many invasive fertility treatments (again) and go off of my much-needed anti-depressants in order to have another child.

I can find the humor in most situations-and maybe spread it around like margarine or herpes.

I can pump, answer email and talk on the phone simultaneously.

I can sneeze, wet my pants, and convince my friends that their child who I am holding has a leaky diaper.

Love that.

I have the power to finish my son's sentences. He is amazed by this. I don't know why since we have the SAME conversations over and over and over....

I love this post!

I can find the "favorite toy" no matter where it has fallen, been placed, or hidden (if only this super power extended to my car keys and my cell phone)

I can prepare a decently nutritious dinner including a fruit and veggie - with a toddler hanging on one leg and a dog under the other leg, in the kitchen the size of a shoebox.

I can clean up a house littered with toys, with the "help" of a toddler, in 5 minutes flat.

And...if given a mere 10 minutes of child-free time, I swear I can do more then I used to be able to do in a week.

I can look at a situation and figure out what havoc my pre-schooler has in mind and utter the words "Don't even think about it" before he has a chance to put his idea in motion. I'll then say "we should not do x,y,z" and he'll ask me how I knew what he was thinking.

I once literally changed a diaper behind my back.

I do this all the time. I love the look on my son's face when I say that. I know he is thinking "Can she read my thoughts?"

My SIL used to bf her son while riding in the backseat of the car - while he was strapped in his infant seat! I, unfortunately, (or fortunately) can't do that. I guess having elastaboobs is not one of my super powers.
