Have you ever noticed how Moms have the ability to carry one or more babies, toddlers, children no matter how big or small the child. It always amazed me to see these cute little moms carrying a squirming child while doing something else at the same time and making the child look as light a feather. I think when you become a mom you develop the super power of strong arms no matter how weak they may look. I have never had good arm muscles or been in good shape, but somehow I managed to cart Janna, my 16 month old baby girl, around Dollywood and Gatlinburg for most of the day. Janna is currently in a “mommy phase” so it is Mommy’s arm or a crying baby. I had plenty of help available and plenty of offers but it came easily. It surprises me that my husband, who is incredible strong, can carry Janna for maybe 15 minutes before he is tired or his arms hurt. You would think that he of all people would have the arm strength to carry a tot. But I, who am “muscle impaired”, am able to carry a tot around for hours on end. I wonder if this is the case for other families.
In conclusion: I am thankful for my superpower ability to have Mommy Arms.
