Gone. Gone. I have lost my power.

I just found out at the most inconvient moment, that I have lost my power. You see Anderson fell out of his swing Wednesday as Ron was mowing the back yard and I was pittling. He fell face first so he had a mouth full of dirt and was really upset. Scared more than hurt. I ran him in and grabbed a cool wash cloth to cool him off and wipe the dirt out of his little eyes, and gave him a bottle of water to get the dirt out of his mouth. After he spit in to the sink about 10 times I saw it was red and scrapped on his nose a little. He was still crying and upset so I thought he just needed a couple of momma's magic kisses.
I leaned in an planted a couple on his nose and with the biggest crocodile tears you have ever seen rolling down his cheeks he said.... "but momma. that doesn't make it better."
I felt like I had been punched in he stomach, it literally took my breath. My kisses were not magic. They didn't instantly take the pain way. What do you do now? I am at a loss I don't know what to do. I knew this day would eventually come, but why now? He is so little still..... So there you have it folks. My once magical kisses have been replaced all the sudden with regular old mommy kisses, which one day when I plant on him instead of saying they don't work he will label as YUCK. I am no more prepared for that day than I was for this one.
