29 November 2011


Reading books on the lounge
Like two perfect little angels.


28 November 2011


Miro very cheekily convinces Din to put up a full sized tent for him
When Mummy thinks he's just talking about some blankets and a few chairs !!

Afterwards the boys battle for Din's lap
And "sticky" all over his glasses.
The fun !



27 November 2011


Palm Beach for lunch,
Playing frisbee with My New Friend
And making sandcastles "all on mine own".

Later it's a Malabar dinner with the gang;
BBQ chicken and playground conspiracies galore!




26 November 2011


Playing with his Mum's Group mates at Max's naming day ceremony...
And obsessed with poppa juice! (4 in a row!)



25 November 2011


On pouring days
While Mummy rests
The boys become expert
At making cubbies out of the lounge...


24 November 2011


The dinner boys...
Right before Miro's favoured "tunnels".


23 November 2011


Rainy week.
Lots and lots of craft
And television...


22 November 2011


Nanny teaches Miro how to hang the clothes out,
Shaking and pegging, shaking and pegging.

By the end he is so good at it, and so diligent,
That he puts a very special 13 pegs on Mummy's culottes.



21 November 2011


Cuddles with Din at the front door on a quick Nanny pickup...
Too quick !

And later, happy funnery
As Rose gets her couche on
And the boys go wild !



20 November 2011


After a fantastic time on Tomas's giant waterside
The boys dry off and continue the bliss with a great big Cars garage.


19 November 2011


Reading books and playing
With beloved Lucy and Stevee.


18 November 2011


Chaotic bathtime frenzy
With Archie and Rose in the laundry.


17 November 2011


A day of wild wrestling
And great roaring.


16 November 2011


Waiting ever-so-patiently
With Granny
For Banoffee...


15 November 2011


Tai is awfully suspicious
Of Miro's intentions,
Being, as they are, usually to take
Something special,
Like a book he's just sat down to read...


14 November 2011


Piggybacks with Din
On the way to the car
After a glorious morning
Chowing down
On copious Christmas cake.


13 November 2011


For the first time ever
And without hardly noticing,
Miro dresses himself completely,
From undies to shorts to tshirt. Bravo!


12 November 2011


Catching the ferry to Cockatoo Island
Saying "How many minutes?!" until the boat arrives...
Then excitedly running through the exhibitions,
Perplexed as to why cars were smashed in the name of Art,
And thrilled by big balloons and badge-making!




11 November 2011


"Nudey boy fun" with Reuben
Running on the grass in the sunshine,
Searching for tigers and crocodiles.


10 November 2011


Today is Miro's Orientation Day at his new Pre-school.
We all go together, and he loves it,
Playing with bright green play-doh,
With pretend hamburgers in the classroom kitchen,
And not wanting to go, making a new friend in the playground.

Afterwards the fun continues, as beloved Reuben,
Anna and Nicholas arrive from Melbourne.
There are hours whiled away in the hammock with Aunty Anna
As the boys ask millions of questions.




9 November 2011


Purple snow!
November has arrived
And summer nearly here...


8 November 2011


An afternoon trip to the park
Almost sees the boys caught in the thunderstorm
That excitingly lights the sky
And drenches the playroom windows.

The boys love watching it pour down.


7 November 2011


Mummy and Daddy, jointly
Make a mess of cutting Miro's hair

And so he is ever so good sitting still
As we fix it up at the hairdressers.

Afterwards, he gets a treat for being so nice,
Where he very sweetly asks if Tai can have a treat too.


6 November 2011


Miro eloquently convinces Mummy to come to book club
Where he becomes enamoured with Adam and Mena,
Swinging ever higher in the park.


5 November 2011


A scorching Sydney Saturday
Where we wander the mysteries of Ballast Park
Searching for a non-existent playground
But finding instead, a magical wall of deadlocks,
Ropes that look like hairy snakes,
And families cooking barbeques.



4 November 2011


A lazy afternoon
Playing silly on the couch...

And later, amongst cheese and crackers,
Rock n roll dancing and spa baths in Nanna's apartment,
A naughty moment, when Tai cuddles up to Miro on the sofa,
And seeing the camera, Miro pushes him right off his lap!




3 November 2011


Waiting in Dr Morris' room
While we prepare to look at the "Tins".


2 November 2011


Mum's Group,
Sunny garden,
Hanging with the gang
On the hammock.


1 November 2011


Renee ("My New Pend") and Miro
Watching the Melbourne Cup race
In hats they made themselves!


31 October 2011


Miro tries for tunnels with his breakfast toast...

But there is no way Maman will fit on that chair !!!


30 October 2011


Miro, so tender
With his growing little brothers,
Comes and gives them hugs when he wakes up.
