Miro and Archie bundle up for the cold, and meet in Jubilee Park
Where Archie has fallen in love with a gold glitter top hat
And shares the love with Miro.

Every night Daddy reads to Miro before bed
Or they look at pictures of all his loved ones
In the book especially made for him.
28 June 2010
The very lovely Aunty Gen comes for an afternoon visit
Bearing a gift of To-To (Thomas) that Miro won't put down!
He neglects, however, to stay awake during a leisurely walk to Glebe,
Unbeknownst to him, missing out on melted chocolate and churros...
27 June 2010
Cheekyfaced Miro runs in the opposite direction
Whenever he is asked to do something, such as:
Put his shoes on, come upstairs, put his toys away,
Or give back Matai's nounou...!
Here he is under the table,
In response to "come upstairs and have a shower!"

At Miro's superhero birthday party
Uncle Bugs comes dressed as Professor X
(He claims it enables him to sit there and do nothing but eat all day!)
But what seemed like a good idea turns out to be not so~
Miro completely freaks out at the sight of Professor X
As well as Din's mute mask and Dane's evil clown
And spends many a minute clinging to Nanny and Daddy (she loves it so!)

After Mummy and Miro do craft at the Ultimo church
Miro is so proud of his sticker-button-and-pasta creation
That he has to show everyone in the gym, one by one.
(And many times over!)
Mums and babies !
24 June 2010
Every Thursday evening, before we are allowed to go home,
Miro insists on jumping into the driver's seat of the Kombie,
Twiddling all the knobs, pretending to drive,
Switching on the blinkers, and saying "beep! beep!"
22 June 2010
Anticipating a walk around Hen and Chicken Bay
Does no good when the GPS doesn't work, and Goo is screaming the car down...
We therefore take an emergency diversion to a shabby Balmain park
Where Miro pushes his pram around with delight
While Matai takes some deep breaths and watches the trees...
20 June 2010
At Miro and Victoria's 2nd Birthday Party
The theme is "Things That Go"
And Miro is thrilled to be dressed as Astro Boy
Along with Matai and Daddy!
He spends the party commandeering Elizabeth's lap,
Scooting under Pierre's tall legs,
Eating gateaux and not sharing his new toys!
(Including an Amazing fire truck!)
Afterwards, he loves Vicky by association
And still says hopefully "Vicky?" when thinking of cake and chocolates.
18 June 2010
Friday sees the Birthday That Keeps On Going
With a trip to the Lane Cove Light Fantastic:
Nanny's extra-special chocolate gateaux
And a Thomas Scooter assembled with love!

16 June 2010
On a sparky walk along Manly Esplanade
Miro has four pasta spirals and a can of wicked coke.
Later, when walking past Ben and Jerry's
He is so tempted by the wonders within
That he smacks eye-first into a plastic chair
And Nanna has to buy him an icecream, on principle.
15 June 2010
Miro's favourite game
After a hot shower
Is to run and jump near Matai's head
While Mummy shouts "no jumping! no jumping!"
14 June 2010
Miro and Daddy spend the long weekend bonding
Over bush chasies, tickles, rock exploration,
High throws, beam walks and kissing attacks...
13 June 2010
Miro spends the morning chasing kangaroos,
Marvelling when they disappear,
Then sooking when they don't come back (at his command!)
12 June 2010
A day marked by frequent nose-wipes for Miro,
And an evening as Astro Boy.
(Plus one for the Grandmothers!)
11 June 2010
Today, Miro watches Skippy for the first time...
In anticipation of a Jervis Bay sighting !
10 June 2010
Miro dabbles in devildom, wanting to "ock"
But running and hiding in the shop furniture,
Biting Nanny and doing everything he's told not to.
Even gateau can't tame him for long!
9 June 2010
On a icy, blustery playground trip to Maroubra Beach
Miro and Grace walk away together, giggling, hand-in-hand,
And nobody wants to say goodbye!
8 June 2010
Miro is super impressed by all the goldfish
On a late afternoon wander through the Chinese Gardens.
Later, we dress as Imperials, watch ferris wheels, touch wet rocks and have gateau
And Miro, for the first time, when asked where Miro is,
Points to himself !
7 June 2010
Miro in early morning snuggles
Where, while Daddy showers, he tangles his fingers
Through Mummy's hair, making rattling little rhythms
With his nounou, and dreamy eyes...
6 June 2010
Miro in a late-night hipsta haze
Where little boys rightfully belong in bed
(But he's barely had a shower or dinner yet!)
5 June 2010
Miro is besotted with Kerrie, and more particularly
The great big fat gluten free gateau she brings with her !
4 June 2010
Ayden and Miro have great fun in the shower
Pretending to be private by sweeping the curtain
And washing each other when they're meant to be washing themselves!
3 June 2010
Miro enunciates a plaintive "Din!"
In the morning when Nanny hops in the car
But by afternoon has snuggled up on his beloved lap
And plays endlessly on the iPad.
2 June 2010
Miro drinks tea and eats Aunty Cat's crumbly chocolate slice
While waiting for absent Archie.
1 June 2010
Miro and Mummy's favourite thing to do
On a rainy day lunchtime
Is to order a vegetarian fried rice from the Lord Wolseley
And eat the veggies one by one... yum !
Here, Miro has stolen all the "cailloux" (carrots... not the real word, but his word!)
