At the wedding of Axel and Michelle...
Miro is sick, but after whimpering, lucky enough
To be offered a position wedged between Sarkozy
And the adjoint au maire du 5eme arrodissement.
Ooh la la !
23 October 2009
Miro waits for Mummy to open the door
So that after the shower,
He can do his Royal Walk around the apartment!
22 October 2009
Miro discovers giant multicoloured bunnies
- 'Hundreds and thousands' of them -
While strolling with Dave and Michelle along the Seine
On a bright sunny Paris day.
21 October 2009
On a drizzly rainy day before Medan
Miro has a jumpersnuggle with Mummy and his nounou.
20 October 2009
We spend an afternoon walking around Montmartre
Looking for the ghost of Louise Michel...
As well as "chocolate crepe" !
19 October 2009
Miro discovers a baby doll left behind by the Straumann girls
And independently starts showering it with love and affection.
Tenderly, he cuddles it, kisses its face and gives it water...
Then, when they sit on Mummy's lap together, he gives baby Mummy's hair!
18 October 2009
Miro sporting his recently- acquired "chocolate cake" face...
(I.e., in times of despair, just mention "chocolate cake", and get this smile!)
Later, Mamiedou's apartment is turned into a wild screaming harem
As Miro falls in love with all three Straumann girls.
Here, we squish into the elevator
For a late afternoon play in the park.
And Miro and Diane walk in front of the Eiffel Tower
Hand-in-hand.
17 October 2009
At a big 3-times family birthday shindig
Miro meets his cousins Ariana and Samuel for the first time
15 October 2009
On a freezing sunshiney Paris day, Miro must become accustomed
To playing with thousands of well-dressed children
On limited equipment, while wearing a big fat jacket!
(He is embarrassed every time he falls over)
But the gentil big boys soon cheer him up
By including him in a rowdy game of soccer.
***
Later Tata Clo-Clo showers Miro with yet more presents...
Including (delight of all delights!) bubbles !
14 October 2009
Miro's first hours in Paris!
Despite the misery of jetlag...
By the afternoon,
Miro gets his groove on enough to open cadeaux from Mamiedou
And meet someone very special...
Tata Clo-Clo's guinea-pig "La Grosse"!
13 October 2009
Miro catches up on his only sleep for 24 hours
In the Waldorf Astoria lobby.
Shortly after, he's all full of trks and excitement
At taking the plane once more!
12 October 2009
On a mosey through Chelsea Markets, Miro is overjoyed to find a Nutella jar as big as his head!
Later, on the High-Line, there's time for a little relaxing, and a lot of loving nou-nou...
10 October 2009
Stroller-creaking gently around windy Brooklyn
Miro watches cars and trucks pass below the bridge
In fascination.
9 October 2009
Miro is still obsessed with Mummy's hair...
And uses it to fall into blissful museum sleep
His first meeting with his namesake only in dreams...
8 October 2009
The proud owner of some snuggly jumpers
We take a wander in Central Park.
Miro only wants to be carried...
Until the squirrels and puppy dogs are cunningly utilised
To create a TRKTRK distraction!
3 October 2009
A day of ups and downs for Miro...
His favourite part of the day? Running around the mission ruins
And giving Mummy and Daddy big cuddles!
Also dancing up a storm -but only with the bride!-
At Dave and Michelle's wedding...
His low points.... waiting for chippies and hamburgers to arrive at the Laguna diner... boo!
2 October 2009
DISNEYLAND !
A little bit sick and a lot jetlagged, Miro is not his usual sparky self on the day we take him...
But though the Snow White and the Seven Dwarves ride scares the "Mickey" out of him
(Along with the Carousel, and all the super-sized characters walking around...)
He loves the adult rides and the 3D movie!
29 September 2009 - Los Angeles time
Miro muscles up at Santa Monica's "Muscle Beach".
He just can't stop smiling and laughing in L.A...
Though dreaminess keeps stealing him in the back seat of the lala convertible!
28 September 2009
Miro loves his chilled out stay with Aunty Julie and Uncle Dave...
He especially loves roughing Julie up with slap fights,
Passing people's wine to them from the coffee table,
And making a mess of the floor!
27 September 2009
On the windiest, wildest, wettest St Kilda day of the year
We snuggle in the fireside warmth of Republica
Where Oscar gives Miro beijos for stolen toys...
26 September 2009
On our last day at Nonna's place, we go for yummy birthday lunch at a Ballarat Pub
(Chocolate de rigeur!)
Before waving goodbye on the rainy train to Melbourne...
