Not only does Miro delight in telling you every place where the floor is "dirty"
He's now taken to cleaning it too !

After a visit to the Louvre
Generalised naughtiness in the i-Phone shop
Causes Miro to run from the building
Security in hot pursuit !
19 November 2009
After an egg breakfast with Barbara, we take a wander
To the Pompidou building, where Miro finds a balloon
That later escapes to the very top of Opera,
Waving its mischievous tail.
We wonder if we could come back home,
Open our window on the 11th floor
And have it float back inside at that very moment.
But in anticipation, we visit the Grands Magasins Christmas lights
And see another kind of magic...

Bit by bit, minute by minute,
Miro is drawn further and further into the big, bad, colourful world of television.
His favourite shows?
Teletubbies-
Playschool-
Little Rascals-
and Wallace and Grommit.
17 November 2009
At La Defense for creperie
Daddy vies for sillerie
And jumps Miro all over the expos !
15 November 2009
"So tell me what you know..."
"Uh-huh..."
"She said WHAT?"
"Get outta here!!"
Miro finds an odd-looking toy at St-Germaine-en-Laye
And immediately starts wheeling and dealing.
13 November 2009
Miro is intrigued by breakfast cereal
And asks for it, any hour.
We even mix it with his soup!
12 November 2009
Camille in Wonderland:
Miro's big cousin brings out her pet rabbit
And so begins the great friendship between boy and lapin...
11 November 2009
Miro has recently learned to frown
And likes to frown at everyone...
But it's quickly followed by his usual smile !
(Today, he made his first cake with Mummy and Mamiedou... a citron gateau)
8 November 2009
Miro's first ride on a Shetland pony is
Around the Champs de Mars.
He is so awed and proud to be on the horse
That he barely cracks a smile!
7 November 2009
A frosty day in Avenue Junot
Finds a secret playground, fallen leaves
And a happy cycle of slides and climbs.
5 November 2009
The intense suspense of waiting for that
Magical piece of gateau
To land upon his plate...
Quickly turns to elation, frivolity and play
As he tells that chocolate cake who's boss!
3 November 2009
Miro and Hannah play on the floor
Fight over Barbie's purple-haired horse
And giggle at nothing
2 November 2009
On the long drive home from Alsace
Miro is thrilled when Daddy stops
To feed the hot-faced chevres
With crunchy autumn leaves.
30 October 2009
Today Miro learns, for the first time,
How to stack blocks into towers
(Instead of just destroying them)
He is so proud and happy
That he claps and whoops
With every careful placement!
28 October 2009
A fandango day
Where the facepaints are mobilised-
Hundreds and thousands painstakingly assembled with ladybugs and escargot-
And milk and tomato sauce shot at windows and geisha-Marie.
26 October 2009
In the autumnleaf yellow-bathed forest of Le Bonhomme
Miro and Daddy find a treehouse
While the girls steal the flying fox.
25 October 2009
Arriving in Alsace after a 6 hour trip from Paris
(And half as long again
floundering in the wintery wilderness
in search of the house!)
Miro finds some extra energy around the dinner table.
