Miro, exhausted from a rolicking good time at Tom's and swimming lessons
Marvels at Din's iPad, before taking the Kombie to spend the day with it.


29 May 2010


Miro completely gobsmacks Mummy and Daddy
When, out of the blue, he decides to stop drawing squiggles
And start drawing trucks (complete with four wheels!)




28 May 2010


Daddy has serious Words with Miro
About being seen in public wearing an All Blacks jersey... ;)


27 May 2010


Miro (and Daddy!) are thrilled
To finally be consuming the Duck In A Can

- And Din and Spare Din think it's Not Too Bad, either !


26 May 2010


On a rainy Mum's Group morning
Miro watches Charlotte's Web
Long after Grace and Archie have wandered away...


25 May 2010


Whenever we go to the shops now
Miro wants to "Ock, ock" (walk)
And is pleased as punch, and well-behaved
While he walks beside the pram like a Big Boy.


24 May 2010


Today marks Miro's first reading lesson
Which he takes as an entree of books read
Enthusiastically loud in the morning

(accompanied by Goo's appreciative Ooohs!)

And fun iPod lessons in the evening...



23 May 2010


Miro is protective of his little brother
Especially when he squalls.


22 May 2010


After the downpour turns to a brittle sky
With great big clouds liked dropped aquarelles
Miro and Reuben visit Cockatoo Island
To walk on rooftops and wonder at exploding cars.





21 May 2010


After a week of pouring rain
Miro has learnt to draw circles in the window steam.


20 May 2010


In the months since Easter, Nanny has been saving
Her Biggest Egg in fear of starting it
But today, wants the glory for Miro.

And so, hunts high and low for a hammer
So that Miro can smash it into delicious little shards.

Unfortunately, turning out thousands of tea-towels and scrap notes yields no hammer
And so Miro is forced to task with the creative use of a can opener.

Half-eaten in twenty minutes
With a little extra help from Mummy!


19 May 2010


Two l'il hipstamatics
Who fight and tussle for chairs and cars.


18 May 2010


In all the excitement and anticipation of seeing Archie
Miro refuses to have an afternoon nap
And despite his general grizzliness by their 4:30pm playtime,
At first glance of his friend, is instantly fun again!


17 May 2010


On a rainy Monday, a rattley chest and a fever
Keep Miro bundled up in blankies watching Astro Boy with Goo.


16 May 2010


At the Annual Bulwara street party
Miro helps Daddy become the 2010 Table Tennis Champion
Against a stiff competition of serious Czechs and Magnanimous Mike.


15 May 2010


Miro is all smiles, blown kisses and kept beanies
As he sets off in Din's Combie for Project Saturday.

Today's Mission: Bread!


14 May 2010


Thrilled to see Daddy again, Miro has his first breakfast early
Then tea and toast more leisurely, after 8.


13 May 2010


Miro and Gen share one last "Teeee"
Before Nanna waves Miro goodbye at the airport
All the way up the stairs, and in the sky...



12 May 2010


A fun-filled day with Aunty Sloane ~

Where Miro is spoiled by cars, penguins, starfish, eels and sharks;
Gateau, pain and hot chocolates;
And gets to play with Elodie, (S)Archie and Shrek.

We miss you Aunty Sloane !






11 May 2010


A clash of the titans, where Reuben and Miro
Begin with love and gateau,
Middle with tears and stolen umbrellas,
And end with High Fives and kisses!

(Just don't ask us to share things!)


10 May 2010


Miro spends the morning chasing the Cats

Towing Bongo around and saying "..Isss!"
Plus his first two-word combination: "More Cat!"

And the evening in car-and-truck heaven with Oscar.





9 May 2010


After an anti-climax day-before, when the promised Woo-woo! was mistakenly Sunday
Miro finally makes it for the steam train trip.

But after a windy wait, smelly seats and enforced "please"-es,
What starts in glee soon turns sour
And he misses most of the trip in one long wHinge....


8 May 2010


While Mummy, Nonna and Aunty Gen check out retro swimsuits
At the Ballarat Vintage Fete
Miro explores the Opposite Park with Paulee
And finds himself on a sunny step, counting pebbles and pulling weeds


7 May 2010


Amongst Nonna's impressive toy collection
Miro delights in discovering the wonder of a spinning top.


6 May 2010


Despite catching the redeye Jetstar flight to Avalon Airport
Miro revels in Paul's birthday lunch,
Exploring the teapot garden with Aunty Gen
And enjoying hot chocolates, gateau and teeee!


5 May 2010


On a coldsnap rainy blustery day
Mummy delights Miro by announcing a slicebake
And Miro thrills in arranging the Scotch Finger Biscuits
But mourns them when they are covered in custard, fruit and cream.

Crying "bi-tty, bi-tty" he refuses to cook any more
And won't even lick the spoon !


4 May 2010


Mummy is madly in love with Miro Mu-lay


3 May 2010


On Monday morning, Daddy leaves the house in a whirlwind
Leaving Mummy and Miro to conquer the new Ikea table and chair set
With little more than a screwdriver and a rusty wrench!

Having successfully assembled the set (several hours) later~
Miro is proud to host a first-ever sitting
When Victoria comes to visit for Tuna Bake.


2 May 2010


Miro's first haircut!

Mummy styles it into a very fancy Funky Mullet.



1 May 2010


In place of Fish Saturday
Din offers to take Miro to the zoo.

But Miro doesn't really care where he's going
As long as he gets to go in the Combie !


30 April 2010


Miro loves playing with puzzles
But puzzles over there sometimes being missing pieces...
