Miro only agrees to a trim
Because he can choose a toy afterwards.
But nonetheless he's pretty happy
To see the results. He giggles!

Waiting while the Octonauts sheets
Spin round and round in the washing machine
And then hanging around the clothesline
And watching them dry...
24 February 2012
Thrown into the garden
So as to (sort of) stop making a mess
The boys chat and play
Over their pasta dinner.

After being sent home last week
For a non-existent fever
Miro is impatient to return to preschool
And waits at the front door,
Looking hopefully at the other cars parking
And nagging for us to take him.

Summer Sunday picnic
At Manly Dam ~
Salad and sausages
On the shady blanket
And afterwards ~
A swim!

Miro is SO excited to help decorate Tai's Chuggington birthday cake
And can't resist gobbling up the toppings in the process!
He later squeals his way around the lounge room
Driven to hand-waving, free-wheeling excitement by Din's
Remote-controlled, helium-filled Nemo.
(Note the fluoro LMFAO top -
He screamed for an hour in the morning not wanting to wear it -
Only to discover Archie was wearing the same top.
It's now the most favoured tee in the wardrobe...)

After Lowan poos on Jan
Bandoo gets confused and dresses him as Bastien
But when Daddy gets home from hospital
The fun just keeps on going!
16 February 2012
Ever-so patiently
Directing Matai exactly
As to how to open
His 2nd birthday presents...
But mostly, efficiently,
Jumping in and just doing it himself.

Miro comes over all hot and headachy
And wails for a blankie to keep in his fever...
He perks up a little later for our first family trip to the park
But by evening is feverish all over again...
9 February 2012
After a big day at Miro's beloved preschool
He unwinds with a shower, some hair time and iPad
Against the backdrop of his beautiful first school artwork.
8 February 2012
Whenever it rains now
(I.e., every day)
Miro and Tai whisk their clothes off
And go plunging through the downpour.
6 February 2012
Our very first special outing to the city with the four boys!
Miro munches noodles at Chinta Ria
And revels in the Monorail
Before suffering spectacular breakdown in Myers toy department
And picking up again for Nanna's Chocolate Licks.

Summer Sunday lamb roast in the garden
With bestie Tom, sees Miro
Covered top to toe in melted ice-cream.
Luckily there's a hose nearby to wash him off!
4 February 2012
Morning shower-time with Papa and the Tins
Is followed by us catching Miro
In the act of big brother tenderness,
Laying gentle hands upon his little siblings
While we finish cleaning up.
He loves his little brothers so much.
3 February 2012
Every night before bedtime
Papa whisks Miro away in adventures
Under the light of Din's cosmos.

Miro is beside himself with excitement at starting pre-school,
And insists on packing his lunch the night before:
An apple, a carrot, a cheese-and-avocado sandwich,
A yoghurt and a nibbled hot cross bun.
Then in the morning, asks us how many minutes
And wears his backpack from 7:30 in the morning until it's time to go.
But when, at 9am, he finds out Tai is going to Din's for the day
School suddenly isn't as exciting
And his nerves get the better of him: "my tummy is stretching..."
And he won't smile as as we leave.
But after a few minutes with his new teacher Sarah,
The puzzle table and craft galore - just like Mr Maker!
Makes him happy as a clam, and he loves his first day
