Happy Mother's Day to all the mummies out there! It was an especially nice Mother's Day for me as it was my first as a mummy and my mum was here from South Africa. This time last year, I was pregnant with Justin and we were awaiting his arrival...my how time has flown.
My mum and dad arrived on Saturday and are going to be here to celebrate Justin's 1st birthday as well as my dad's, BG's and my birthdays. It took a while for Justin to warm up to his grandparents; he was very serious and eyed them suspiciously for an hour or so, especially when they tried to 'bribe' him with presents, but he soon warmed up to them. Like all grandparents, the grandchildren get spoiled rotten and the parents don't stand a chance...out came the chocolates and the coke!!! But luckily, or unluckily for Justin, he still hasn't been able to sample these sugar-loaded, hyperactive-inducing products.
For Mother's Day, Justin painted me a masterpiece (pic to be taken) and even showed me the technique he used to paint this amazing piece of art. To celebrate this occasion, we caught a ferry out to Watson's Bay for a fish and chips picnic. We bought take aways and set up a picnic on the lawn and enjoyed the sun, the food and each other's company.
This morning, mums and grannies were invited to Justin's day care to have a Mother's Day breakfast. Justin was quite clingy as he thought we might leave him behind but he soon settled in and wandered off to play with the toys. He didn't even want to leave when I said good bye. But I'm so glad to hear that he's settled down at day care and is no longer known as 'Mr Serious'!
Hope all my mummy friends had a lovely Mother's Day.
The temptation!
