From April 7, 2009- Snippets & Snapshots

I am Mother Earth and I promote good feeling. Or at least Lucas and Noah think so. On days that I feel powerless or like everything that can go wrong will (no need for 'I told you so' Murphy), I think about how to them, I am super woman of sorts and feel a whole lot better. If only I could actually control all the elements, always be on top of my game and have total power. No more stress about tests and no more utter exhaustion at the end of the day. Who needs to see through walls or fly in the sky, with the good vibrations running through, one would always be content.
Lucas thinks my first power is the power of the elements. Take a rainy day for example, if he wants sun he doesn't think about tomorrow, he turns to mommy and says, "Sun mommy." As if at that simple request I could snap my fingers and shoo away clouds 'til there's sun. If the planet were left up to him, there would be no rain, no wind, no way. No need to rub the magic lamp, just ask mommy.
Noah on the other hand gives me the power of good feeling. He is full out crawling now and is pulling up to his feet on furniture. OK parents, this is when the real baby proofing comes in to play. He's on his tiptoes, he's swiping at the cat on the couch and then he's down. BOOM. Tears well up in his eyes and he lays flat on his back and cries for mama. Picking him up in my arms, the tears cease, the smile breaks across his face and the he is squirming to get down and do it again. Somewhere in my arms surges the good vibrations of comfort and in my face, a morning sunrise, an ice cream cone or (a warm bubba full of milk)~ at least that makes my baby happy.
Thinking about all the times I feel powerless it's nice to know that to my sons at least, I can do anything.
