First Mothers Day!

The Batkins were out visiting Max's Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend of Mothers Day since Cam had a meeting in Toowoomba. Max had lots of fun playing out on the farm and getting to know his Pfeffer grandparents on the Saturday. One of his favourite activities was sliding down a piece of cardboard that Grandpa set up on top of a mound of crusher dust that he was using as a base for a new garden shed. Max got the idea of this really quickly and loved leaning forward with his arms out enough to give him some momentum to go sliding down into Grandpa's arms. He gave out lots of smiles and chuckles and everyone had a great time.



On Sunday morning for Mothers Day we all went into Grandma and Grandpa's room to open presents, in long-running Pfeffer tradition. After exchanging them (Max gave me a CD I've been wanting and some chocolates) Daddy and Grandpa took Max and went to make breakfast for us while Grandma and I stayed in bed and chatted. We had a nice time catching up and relaxing and then ate some delicious bacon and eggs in bed! That's definitely the latest I've stayed in bed since before Max came along.

In the afternoon before we headed back to Brisbane we went to visit Max's great-grandma, known to all as Ma. She has a couple of her daughters (Grandpa's sisters, my aunts) visiting her for Mothers Day so there were lots of my cousins for Max to play with, and although they were all quite a bit older than him he loved just watching them run around.

We then had a fairly uneventful trip back to Brisbane except for the last 20 mins or so, when Max was sick of driving and getting hungry. We managed to keep him happy by playing his favourite song ('Clap Your Hands' by They Might Be Giants) about 5 or 6 times in a row! A bit monotonous but it was worth it.
