Hello Tired Troopers!
Ok, so I’ve been seriously impressing myself lately. My reflexes are on point! Like I’m making crazy quick catches and saves that I wouldn’t have ever been able to do before becoming a parent! My hubby has noticed he has this new gift too! Is it possible we both were bitten by some radioactive super spider or something?! Devine intervention?! An evolutionary survival upgrade?! Has anyone else experienced this? U become a parent and instantly get catlike reflexes?! Like super spidey senses?!?!?!
I can catch stuff WITH MY FEET! MY FEET! MY FREAKING FEET!!!!!!!! I dropped a glass in the kitchen and without looking I put my foot out and caught it with my foot against the lower cupboard! Whaaaa? And it wasn’t an isolated incident either! My baby dropped their bottle and I put my foot out and caught it before it hit the floor… um, huh. It’s a little scary, but super cool too!
When we first had the kids I constantly said that parents should automatically grow a second set of arms. Like as in some weird evolutionary thing. Because 2 hands and 2 arms just doesn’t cut it sometimes, then you tack on a second or third child, yeah nah! But, unfortunately even if that does become a thing someday, we definitely won’t see it in our lifetimes. So, maybe the super spidey senses is the evolutionary gift we get as new parents. It isn’t as great as a full on second set of arms would be, but hey, I’ll take it! I’ll take all the help I can get!
