First Bus Trip

We have been talking about taking the bus into town for ages. This week we did it. Max is half me half Sam. Split down the middle. He was so excited, talked about it nonstop then was pretty cautious once he got on. Hhhmmm. Talking non stop, guess who that is? Cautious risk taker, guess who that is?

We had such a fun mommy max date. We went to the toy store, the rugby store, an American candy store, Starbucks & on lots of walks. Max kept saying "we on a date mommy?" I love my quality time kiddo!

We talked about rugby and our love of the sport. Rugby season is when I feel like I was born a kiwi. I am excited every week and can't wait to see our team(s). I still am loyal to the Chiefs where we used to live but fully embracing the rugby culture of Dunedin and cheer like crazy for the Highlanders. It makes me embrace the winter approaching because with winter comes rugby and with rugby comes getting caught up in another world full of cheering and family memories. I am reading Richie McCaw's new book (Arguably the greatest NZ rugby player) and loving it!

Max has now moved from just kicking and passing to drop kicking. Who is this kid? He just picked the ball up and did a perfect drop kick. He is a crazy visual learner. Saw it. Conquered it. Love him.
