I will always remember the day true magic entered my household. This wasn’t the kind of magic that fades with age, like the belief in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. No, this magic is profound and enduring, a wonder that deepens over time.
It was a winter day in New York City, with Christmas approaching, yet the atmosphere felt anything but festive. My son, Oliver, was just three years old and perched by the window on a dreary, overcast afternoon. The forecast predicted rain, and with the unusually warm weather, snow seemed impossible. I had little hope for a white Christmas that year.
We lived on a bustling avenue, where traffic was relentless. I used to engage Oliver in a game where we would identify the colors of cars and trucks, count vehicles at stoplights, and laugh at the antics of impatient drivers. However, today he wasn’t in the mood for games. Instead, he gazed expectantly into the sky.
“What are you looking for, buddy?” I asked.
“I’m waiting for sthnow!” he replied, speaking with a delightful lisp.
He resembled a chubby little bunny in his bright yellow pajamas, with rosy cheeks and big brown eyes, watching the sky with the hope that gumdrops and Skittles might come raining down. I knew, however, that snow was not on the way. Despite this, as any caring parent would, I felt compelled to alleviate his disappointment.
“I don’t think it’s going to snow today, Oliver,” I said gently, knowing that explaining weather patterns to a toddler would be futile. So, I resorted to a promise.
“If I promise it will snow soon, will you come away from the window?” I proposed.
“You promisth to make it sthnow, Mom?” he asked, his eyes wide with anticipation.
“Yes, I promise, but you have to promise to join me in the living room,” I replied.
“Okay! Do it now!” he insisted.
Reaching into my pocket, I pretended to pull out something magical, rubbing it between my hands before blowing it toward the window.
“What wasth that! What wasth that!” he exclaimed, jumping with excitement.
“That, dear Oliver, was Mommy Magic, and with it, it will snow very soon!” I added with a playful wink, knowing full well that the weather would likely remain unchanged.
We turned away from the window, and after a short while, Oliver dashed back, his excitement palpable.
“It’s sthnowing! It’s STHNOWING!!” he shouted.
To my surprise, when I looked outside, snowflakes were indeed falling, transforming the cityscape into a serene winter wonderland.
“Mommy Magic worked!!” he cheered, and for a brief moment, the noise of the city was hushed under the gentle blanket of snow.
From that day forward, whenever he faced minor injuries from his adventurous escapades—like jumping off dining chairs—my Mommy Magic seemed to make the pain vanish, bringing a giggle back to his face. Thankfully, he never asked for snow again.
Fast forward to today; Oliver is twelve and recently came home with a bruise from basketball. As I tucked him in, he requested some Mommy Magic for his knee, hoping it would help him play better tomorrow. I thought he might have outgrown the idea, but indulged him anyway. We laughed together, and while the bruise looked painful, anything to make him feel better is worth it.
If he still believes in Mommy Magic, it reassures me that, regardless of my own doubts, he has faith in me.
