Mummy locks us out of the house again!
So we kill time watching indigenous rock bands,
Eating sausage rolls and doing Muddy's twice in one day.

Happiness is...
Being on the wave-ee end, rather than waving from the balcony
When Daddy sets off in the morning.
Here Miro gives Mummy a goodbye smile
As he sets off for Daycare.
3 August 2009
The highlight of Miro's morning
Is getting to help Daddy reverse the car out of the driveway.
2 August 2009
Our Sunday walk to Behana Gorge starts off gently, but with passing storms
As, after a little bit of walking, Miro doesn't want to walk anymore,
But doesn't want to be in the sling either...
He perks up with a bit of yumyums...
And all is forgotten in the thrill of exploration
When we finally get to the Gorge.

Saturdays are so much fun because Daddy is finally home.
Today, the two boys ride off to morning swimming lessons...
Later on we have Cairns "award winning pies" and pastries,
And while away the hours in the park.
Miro loves Daddy!

Miro frequently makes this wHingy face lately, when he wants to make a point
That he's not happy about something.
This time, it's being unreasonably forced
To sit in his highchair while he eats his dinner...

But lo and behold! Regard the transformation
When we move him from highchair to hammock!

Mummy and Miro trial an early morning visit to the Pirate Ship.
Miro stands on top of the turret and when other kids finally arrive
Watches them from his post.

Miro likes sausages!
Sometimes eating them, sometimes using them as a bendy stick to hit things with.

Miro loves the house in the Daintree!
He won't go!
Miro in one of his increasingly-frequent lie-down protests.
(Note: he doesn't throw himself down. He lies gently down and *then* wails or wHinges!)

The weather may be gray and rainy
But sand is always sandy
And Daddy always handy!
After a morning of blissful boatride
(Or rather, delightful engine-roar)
Miro squeals with happiness
When he gets to knock down five perfect sandcastles
As Daddy has a massage
And the chill settles in on the coast.

In the gardens of Daddy's birthday hideaway
In the mystical Daintree...

Miro refuses to wear his hat to the beach.
Accordingly, Mummy went to town with the sunblock
And there was even some left over
To make a cute little cockatoo out of him.
23 July 2009
On the way to Muddy's, Mummy gets distracted
By a soft expanse of sand, and two spreading trees.
So the two stop on the low-tide bay for sandwiches
Where the wind pics up, the seagulls eat only cheese,
And Miro makes Mummy worse than Mona Lisa
Watching for crocodiles in the mudflats.
22 July 2009
After a slightly wHingy 24 hours (but nothing out of the ordinary...)
Miro surprises us with TWO new teeth on the bottom row.
At once! Just like the last two bottom 'uns.
And we thought he was going to be a four-toothed monster pour toujours...

"Bartender, hand me a (ginger) beer!"
Miro becomes acquainted with a genuine bush pub at Irvinebank.

At Djarragun for the day, we photograph cane fields
Then spend the day going up and down staircases
Blowing raspberries on the cafeteria glass
And snoozing on the summery grass.
15 July 2009
Daddy suggests an evening BBQ
Where a little girl takes photos of Miro,
And the sunset falls across Cairns.
14 July 2009
Miro watches the birds every day
But today, he learns to throw them his bread
And wait quietly while they come to eat before him.
12 July 2009
On a day where boredom reigns
We take a family trip to the carwash.... for fun!
Miro is clearly thrilled by the experience :)

At a family BBQ lunch
Miro is the King of Backtalk when he's on the play equipment!
Later, Miro whiles away peaceful hours as a nudist at Ellis Beach.

Nanny requested a photo of Miro eating watermelon
Because he loves it so !
(And because we love Nanny so, here it is!)

Miro is enamored by the giant bath boat that Aunty Sloane sends in the mail...
Could life be any better than this?

Chatterbox at the Lagoon.
Miro's arch-mission today is to jump on the giant "sand wall"
That three older boys have made.
We make a rival castle, but the boys finally leave their fortress to us,
And Miro jumps on it gleefully, with barely a nod to the vanquished.

Lunchtime at Muddy's sees Miro mingling with the big kids
And consecutively crying and waving when it's time to go

At the lagoon, our trusty adventurer keeps disappearing into the crowds of people
With nary a look behind him.

On noticing that Miro does a wee before getting into the bath
A perhaps-preemptive attempt is made to potty train him.
Miro's favourite response to the potty?
Turn it over and play with it upside down.

Miro's favourite place to be
Is anywhere where there are other kids.
And if he gets to drive a Wiggles boat, too...
Well that's even better!

After noticing a lull in the room,
Mummy walks in to find Miro
The proud discoverer of a Salada stash
And munching it to crumbs...

Miros first day at Daycare.
Interested by all the new toys, he barely looks around when we leave
But Mummy sobs in the hallway...

Miro, Mummy and Daddy visit the Mind-Body-Soul Festival at Tank.
Where Mummy and Daddy have Shiatsu, and Miro eats pappadums.

The morning of our early-morning flight back to Cairns
When sheets must be put away, rubbish snuck into bins,
and the house shut up for a temporary new family.
