Before a delicious roast lamb dinner
Miro plays with Nonna's balls
In the toy heaven of her back room playground.



24 September 2009

Another day at Nonna's...
Miro discovers the delight of shared chocolate and play-doh
And the annoyance of pebbles on apples feet !

23 September 2009

On rainy days in family-full daycare
Miro gives Mummy copious sleepy hair-twirling cuddles...


22 September 2009

Just escaping the Sydney dust storm in the nick of time
Miro lands the day before in Ballarat
Where he finds a new i-Phone to entrance him...



21 September 2009


Via Wallace and Gromit, Miro this week discovers
That he loves children's TV.

Here Grumps and Miro dance to the puppets
In what can only be called a "Puppet Dance" !


20 September 2009


Miro loves saying "tickle tickle tickle!" and tickling people.
Here Leelee laughs like a "cury hair crown"!



19 September 2009


Miro uses the old "suck the t-shirt and show the 6 pack" trick
To lure his dreamgirl at a Hunter Valley lunch



18 September 2009


Miro loves the garden.

Out the front in Nanny's, there are flowers to stroke
Wagons to ride in
And watermelon seeds to plant.

Out the back in Grumps' garden
There are chooks to feed
Eggs to collect
Washing trolleys to ride
And hoses to wet Mummy and Daddy with!

Turkey gobbling with Grumps


16 September 2009


At the Mother's Group, Miro must learn to share
Grace's lovely bike,
Which he defends in most naughty toddler fashion!


15 September 2009


Miro loves everyone in his family.
He gives them great big hugs,
Loves it best when everyone is together,
And today - insists on accompanying Leelee home in the combie!

When he finally realises it is impossible
(After much protest!)
He resigns himself to blowing kisses down the front path
And saying "bye bye" long after he's left.







14 September 2009


Miro has a word explosion at Lane Cove
And learns to say Shoe.

He also says:

"Nah-nee"
"Dirty"
"Naughty"
"Hot"
"Chaud" (hot)
"Da-da"
"Bye Bye"
"Go"
"Do-Do" (sleep)
"Gone"

And overenthusiastic "uh-oh"s whenever he does something naughty...

Or is about to !




(p.s. this is also the day we discover that Miro is going to have a little brother in February!)

13 September 2009


At the Dunne Housewarming Dinner, Miro is delighted to see Ayden
And spends his time consecutively hugging him, running at him
And stealing his bicycle!



12 September 2009


When Miro does a Po as Mummy rests
Miro's beloved Nanny decides to make him a laundry bath
And scrub him down with Wondersoap.

Miro loves it !



10 September 2009


On the night flight from Tokyo to Cairns...

Miro with his toes poking out of the plane bassinette...


9 September 2009


On Mummy's last beloved meal at Stephan's
Miro spoon feeds a hungry Daddy.


8 September 2009


On our last day in Tokyo, we visit the world's most amazing aquarium,
Followed by cakes and drinks on the top floor of the Mori building
Where Miro's energetic tantrums are allayed by the adoring waiting staff.




7 September 2009


Miro has some studio fun with his favourite toy in the world....

(No, not the i-phone, though that comes a close second!)


6 September 2009


Things Miro enjoys about the Kichijoji apartment...

Pulling all the nappies out and strewing them across the floor...
Putting the i-phones into the fridge...
Hiding his toy trains in cupboards and the fridge...
Opening the fridge and squashing the tomatoes and taking the Vegemite and butter out....


5 September 2009


Mummy, Daddy and Miro go to Ginza for the day.
All is well until Miro decides to pull Mummy's skirt down on the crowded Avenue...

All the way down !



4 September 2009


After scaling countless stairs, Miro is thrilled
By the trktrk! horsie at the Mt Mitake shrine
And wanders the misty mountaintops until falling peacefully asleep
In Mummy, then Daddy's, arms...


3 September 2009


For Mummy and Daddy's 4 year wedding anniversary
Miro takes the cable car to Mount Mitake
And is amazed by the steep moving view.


2 September 2009


Miro is delighted when Mummy and Daddy declare a Movie Night
And put sultanas in a great big cup for Miro to munch
As they all watch Baron Munchausen.


1 September 2009


Miro learns that squealing in quiet galleries is fun
And outside, even more so !


31 August 2009


Too rainy to go anywhere
The family takes shelter in the Kichijoji lunch favourite
Where Daddy drinks cold tea from a glass
And Miro feasts on rice and pickles.


30 August 2009


On a typhoon-Sunday, in the rainy night,
We take cover with Grizoukai in the cosy white of a restaurant room -

Where Miro takes a big gulp of toe-curling beer !
