Today, Miro and Archie create
The Best Animal Shop we've ever seen!
Sixteen dollars for everything!

Silly slip n slide face
As Miro and Tai run fantastically through the sprinklers...
And later, at bedtime, the quiet brings the wonder
Of Din's universe silently rotating above their shared bed.

Christmas Day
In the aftermath of eager presents
Where Miro loves opening them as much as playing with them,
Is chased screaming through the house by Angus and Myles masquerading as lions
And Din reads to the boys from a new pirate book.

On Christmas Eve, Miro and Tai
Giggle over their funny hats,
Dole out beloved band-aids,
Put apples out for the reindeer, and a banana out for Santa
(After chocolate is vetoed by Papa!)
And cousin Bennett reads them
Christmas stories until they fall asleep.

Proud Miro
Can't stop cuddling, kissing
And gently putting his hands on
His brand new baby brothers.
18 December 2011
Miro is so excited to meet Lowan and Bastien in hospital...
He and Tai push Mummy's wheelchair (a bit rough n ready!)
And later, gently touches the top of Lowan's head...

Bandoo est arrivée!
We visit Santa in his Crystal Castle
Where a pretty blue fairy comes to talk to Miro.
When she asks how he is today, he says very coyly: "Nice".
Beforehand, there are stained glass windows to stare at
While eating scones and cream;
And a beautiful Christmas tree to play in front of;
Intricate train sets to exclaim in front of!

Waiting patiently around the Christmas tree
For their first presents of the year...
And later, sandwiches on the grass,
Punctuated by glorious bubble chasing!
12 December 2011
Another bedlam dinner with the Williamsons
Including butter in everybody's hair
When Rose and Miro lead the way
By wearing their bread rolls as hats !
11 December 2011
Happiness is...
Bringing out the Xmas decorations
And helping to hang every one,
Before singing Jingle Bells with Tai beside the tree.

Party boy delights in putting antlers on everybody
At our lazy afternoon family BBQ...
Later we go to the Rosebery Carols,
But Miro says the music is too loud,
And tries to run away.

The cheeky birds sneak into our house all day long
With beaks bent on nibbling breakfast toast-crusts or lunchtime pasta.
But when the boys find them, they become dizzily disoriented
And it takes a full-scale strategic mission to get them out the door!

Miro loves watching Nanny
Teach him how to make lamingtons.
He likes tasting them even better!
30 November 2011
The boys now sleep together in Miro's bed,
Snuggied up like caterpillars,
Miro sneaking up to touch his little brother's hair...
