A sleepy Valentine's Day
Sees Miro have a breakfast date with Vicky Cristina Barcelona
And later, try Diego's shoes on for size
In the ultimate provocation to little girl's daddies !
13 February 2010
After another delicious Fish Saturday
Where Miro eats a whole bowl of seafood and most of Mummy's fish besides -
Aunty Cat and Uncle Matt offer Pork Roast teatime!
Another chance for eating bowl-fulls of food
And playing like big boys in Ayden's bedroom...
Tearing books, pulling down teddy bears,
But also being suspiciously well-behaved quiet for minutes at a time.
12 February 2010
On a hot muggy pre-storm day
The family think Baby is coming
And take some last-minute portraits before he arrives.
Alas, the day turns, the skies pour, and still no baby !
11 February 2010
After a grimy but delightful Gateau day with Nanny and Mummy
Spare Grumps makes hot chili Dale-Choi-Bows
And Grumps decides to give Miro a cooling before-bedtime bath in the kitchen sink...
10 February 2010
Miro hosts the Mum's Group
Where he learns (with difficulty and lots of hugs by Archie!)
To share his most treasured possessions.
And all are enthralled in a giant green garbage truck passing...
9 February 2010
Miro is thrilled and can't stop smiling
When he first gets to eat his very first (very own) sausage roll
And later goes swimming with Mummy and Daddy in the Avalon ocean pool.
8 February 2010
After being a perfect angel the whole day through
Miro is rewarded by a trip to the Fox Studios playground
Where he loves twirling on the rides
- And taking the slides!
7 February 2010
After a sleepy sleep-in morning
Daddy offers Miro din-din
And he gives Mummy a wave as they walk downstairs for breakfast.
6 February 2010
After Nonna goes to the airport, and another delicious Fish Saturday,
Miro dons his party best for a 30th
And gets in the spirit by being silly with Daddy's swipe pass !
5 February 2010
Max Brennar Face
(Or rather. Where's My Nou-Nou?!)
With Nonna at our city stroll
Between cuddles and fun
4 February 2010
On a day where steamy rain pounds the tin roofs and pavements in a glorious downpour
Nonna comes to stay, Dane and Paul come to visit,
And Miro is feverish and wHingy.
Impatient with chips and roast preparation, he is finally taken for a walk with Daddy
To clear his mind and help him feel better...
3 February 2010
On the dusty back porch, amongst cactus and Sydney Morning Heralds
Great Aunty Jean dotes on Miro
While Grumps at the BBQ warms up the backyard -
Nanny makes old fashioned orange salad -
Leelee has a wine or two -
And Spare Grumps catches up for a yarn...
2 February 2010
After a steamy summer's day,
The family go to eat Dosai
And encourage Little Brother along...
1 February 2010
At Miro's Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa-Peter's house
He is lucky enough to discover
That Gran has made him his favourite passionfruit Gateau
With pomengranate icecream and lashings of love !
31 January 2010
On a sleepy Sunday
Miro falls asleep on Daddy
Then later, wakes, and within minutes falls asleep again with Mummy
30 January 2010
After another scrumptious Fish Saturday
Miro delays going for his nightly do-do
By bringing out some of his favourite autos
29 January 2010
When Archie comes over for a sleepover
The boys are in hysterical giggles about each other
And get up to all sorts of mischief...
Like throwing pebbles in the backyard,
Stretching the dinosaur spring,
Saying "bum" on the front step while watching the autos pass,
And eating disgusting shoes !
28 January 2010
A day of gateau for morning tea and gateau for lunch
And then more gateau for dinner...!
26 January 2010
At Australia Day celebrations
(In a hot and sweaty city)
Miro and Ayden dance to
The indigenous reggae band
While Mummy and baby brother seek comfort on the pram.
25 January 2010
One of Miro's favourite things to do
(Apart from Drawing)
Is to stick stickers in sticker books.
Imagine his happiness when he discovers
Daddy attaching a stamp to a letter
Just like he does !
24 January 2010
On a trip to Little Dynamos, Miro is at first confined to the "Under 4s" playground
Where he wistfully gazes at the Big Kids enjoying
Enormous Slides
And Complicated Mazes of Obstacles
With rough and ready glee.
Luckily, after an hour, Daddy accompanies him onto the Big stuff
Where he can Wheeeeee! to his heart's content !!!
23 January 2010
Miro's Fish Saturday adventures
On wanting to eat prawns and prawns and more prawns !
17 January 2010
The Maitres and the Dunnes visit Bronte for an Early
But the rough and ready waves drown the rockpool,
And the boys bear splashes grimly... and grippingly!
15 January 2010
Stevee and Lucee come around for dinner.
Miro receives a beautiful nursery rhyme book...
And an animated operatic Lucy to read it to him !
14 January 2010
Our first Nanny Thursday since September...
And our first Passionfruit Sponge !
(GAT-EAAAAAAAU !)
13 January 2010
On a perfect beach day in the Harbour
Suggested by Aunty Melissa...
Miro grips onto Mummy and Daddy
So as not to fall in the sea.
Later we all stop for food at a Bondi cafe
And Miro proudly bears his "draw" ing
Cunningly touched by Melissa and love hearts
12 January 2010
Miro's main obsession right now is to "Draw"
And he asks to take his books and crayons out
At least six times each day...
11 January 2010
Now accustomed to walking around with shoes on -
At first, Miro refuses to walk on the sand
When he and Bondi beach are re-acquainted.
Its "dir-ty!"
10 January 2010
On a brilliantly sunny birthday picnic day at Clontarf
Miro is delighted to be reunited with Ayden and more!
...Until a sunscreen allergy makes his eyes and nose impossibly run
And only escape in the car can bring his song back
6 January 2010
Back home at Nanny and Grumps' house
Mummy's birthday party
Leads to a gateau line-up
For which even jet-lag can't dampen enthusiasm !
4 January 2010
On our last day in San Francisco, Miro
Runs his hands and body through the golden beads at SFMOMA,
Builds towers, and shares dominos...
