The Day My Son Found Out I Wasn't A Superhero

     I am literally always on the go when it comes to Baby Kris & Kassydi . If you ever want to stay fit and active , just have children back to back lol . The day my son found out I wasn't a superhero broke my heart . He was so disappointed . The mind of a toddler is so innocent and sweet . They believe their parents are invincible and even if you don't believe you have the courage , your baby WILL inspire you to act like it . Personally, I'm afraid of any and everything thats not a insect . All animals (birds included) , the dark, cars , failure , (hell , life lol). But not when it comes to my babies. A mothers intuition and love for her child is stronger than the mightiest of lions.

 From the day of conception , your whole life transitions. Every choice you make has to be thoroughly thought out & must reflect the best interest of your child (though we all have our selfish moments). For nine months this human has lived inside of you; used you as shelter, food and water. You think that when their born you get your life back but NOPE ! , NOTHING CHANGES but the amount of consumption and expenses (talk about an uphill climb). Eventually you realize that it's all worth it . Having someone (or two , three maybe four lol) think of you as their own personal superhero feels just as good as having your own fan base. 

    The day Baby Kris realized I didn't have superpowers started out as any normal day . Neither one of us would have thought my mortality would be exposed by noon. l had just finished curling my hair with the curl wand (had a big interview). Kris had just woke up so we preceded with our everyday routine . (Baby wakes up , looks for mommy , finds mommy , runs to mommy, mommy embraces baby with kisses and hugs , good mornings are exchanged and then"tube"is summonsed).   After Baby Kris has felt loved, he's ready to start his day. The first thing he asks for is a drink of water, then he begins to search for my phone so he can watch YouTube (he refers to it as tube). My phone was lying next to my curl wand. Although I had unplugged the curl wand , it still had some steam left too it and despite my consistent yelling at Baby Kris to not touch it , he stares at me straight in the eyes and with his pointer finger , he slowly bends down and touches it (yes he is this animated!). He quickly removed his pointer finger and runs to me screaming. Instantly I removed my angry mom goggles and put on my "Captain Mommy" cape. Knowing that the curl wand couldn't have done too much damage because it was unplugged I puckered up my lips and kissed the boo-boo away (thinking it would work of course). For the very first time in 22 months, it didn't. Baby Kris looked at his finger and then at me with a puzzled look . I could just hear his inner baby questioning "Why didn't that work? , it always works! Has mommy lost her touch?" 

 Between his finger burning and the super kiss not being able to stop the pain , I'm not sure what hurt worse. I ran to the bathroom and rinsed his finger under some cold water. I will never forget the way he looked at me when he figured out that my lips couldn't truly heal him . I knew from this day on, his reliance on me and the super kiss would never be the same.
