Before his afternoon nap,
Miro diligently puts his Dolly and Dog to bed
On all the rectangular things he can find.
We take it as a hint that he wants to go to bed too...
But then he refuses to sleep at all !

Daddy comes home for a Wednesday night surprise
Where Miro, drowsy on a Thursday morning, finds comfort in his familiar hair...
24 November 2010
Miro and Matai on the famous Woody Surf Inn steps.
Despite having not explained anything until we got there,
As soon as we got to the park that Mummy used to play in as a little girl
Miro said "that's home!"
And when we got to the door, he pushed at the letterbox
And said "hello Nanny! hello Din!"
23 November 2010
Miro loves pushing Dolly in the pram
As we go for a big long walk,
Avoiding rubbish bins and dogs with scary barks,
Accidentally walking into sprinklers
And finishing with his very own chocolate milkshake.
22 November 2010
Today we attempt a walk up the beach
But Miro quickly stubs his toe, and wants to be carried the whole way.
Nonetheless, his hair looks pretty good!
21 November 2010
Miro is in raptures when Din and Nanny come to visit his new Home
For South African sausages and perennial salad ~
But has a wobbly lip when Din hops in the Kombie
And bursts into tears when he drives away.

Mamiedou starts off as "Pangu" and gently revolves into "Bandu".
Whatever her name, it would be just as sweet
As she plays with Miro in the garden for hours on end!
19 November 2010
Miro is jetlagged just as much as Pangu
And misses his afternoon nap, taking it later
Nestled against an Esky in front of the television.

Waiting for Mamiedou turns Miro into a crazy ball,
Bouncing against the crowds, screeching joyfully
And almost (twice!) losing his helium balloon.
After an hour, his reward is the newly-christened Pangu
Walking, embracing, kissing, through the barriers.

Trick to drinking Illicit Coke:
Put the straw against your lips and stare blankly,
As though dreaming of something else;
Drinking inadvertantly.

It's a day where Daddy disappears
Leaving Miro wondering briefly where he's been spirited
And Mummy, whether her whole adult life was a dream...
As the hard drops fall, Miro rides the re-found Daddy's shoulders
And runs wetly, wildly to the car.

Hot, and refusing to wear his shoes;
Stricken by bindies, Miro wants his
Sandy little body to be carried everywhere.
13 November 2010
A day of running, getting sandy, making cubbies;
Idolising Sam, drumming and chewing his t-shirt
Make Miro happy but exhausted at the end of the day !
10 November 2010
For the first time in nearly 9 years
There's a TV in the house !
Here are Miro and Matai fighting over the remote.
6 November 2010
After spending the day with Josie, Miro
Loves tickles with Aunty Doodee
And cries "My Doodee!" when she leaves...
5 November 2010
The weekly play-drive in Din's Kombie
Is today, for the first time,
Shared by another fledgling rev head -
Little brother !
3 November 2010
Miro and the Gang fixing a bicycle at the park
And later - Doodee tomfoolery for her birthday!
31 October 2010
Miro wakes up in his own personal heaven;
To *cut* cheesy croissants, cosy deebee rooms and cows;
To tractors and glossy utes
To dirt piles ripe for jumping, boots flying;
Chippies in country pubs;
And copious Aunty Sloane cuddles.
29 October 2010
On a day where Melbourne starts to feel the hot dry heat of summer
We walk kilometres across the city,
Stopping only for lunch under shady trees
Where Miro fights his brother for highchair rights
And delivers more impressive Coke tantrums.
Later that night, we eat Japanese as the black night turns balmy
And Miro runs through the lobby, excited for Magnums.
28 October 2010
Drinks by the Yarra, where the peace is punctuated only
By (moments after) a two-year-old, traumatised by being offered orange juice
And unable to build a bridge ("No Bridge!").
27 October 2010
Miro, seconds before three plaintive miaows
Required a hasty trip to the vet for Bongo
And a very ginger, gentle few days after.
