"So tell me what you know..."
"Uh-huh..."
"She said WHAT?"
"Get outta here!!"
Miro finds an odd-looking toy at St-Germaine-en-Laye
And immediately starts wheeling and dealing.
13 November 2009
Miro is intrigued by breakfast cereal
And asks for it, any hour.
We even mix it with his soup!
12 November 2009
Camille in Wonderland:
Miro's big cousin brings out her pet rabbit
And so begins the great friendship between boy and lapin...
11 November 2009
Miro has recently learned to frown
And likes to frown at everyone...
But it's quickly followed by his usual smile !
(Today, he made his first cake with Mummy and Mamiedou... a citron gateau)
8 November 2009
Miro's first ride on a Shetland pony is
Around the Champs de Mars.
He is so awed and proud to be on the horse
That he barely cracks a smile!
7 November 2009
A frosty day in Avenue Junot
Finds a secret playground, fallen leaves
And a happy cycle of slides and climbs.
5 November 2009
The intense suspense of waiting for that
Magical piece of gateau
To land upon his plate...
Quickly turns to elation, frivolity and play
As he tells that chocolate cake who's boss!
3 November 2009
Miro and Hannah play on the floor
Fight over Barbie's purple-haired horse
And giggle at nothing
2 November 2009
On the long drive home from Alsace
Miro is thrilled when Daddy stops
To feed the hot-faced chevres
With crunchy autumn leaves.
30 October 2009
Today Miro learns, for the first time,
How to stack blocks into towers
(Instead of just destroying them)
He is so proud and happy
That he claps and whoops
With every careful placement!
28 October 2009
A fandango day
Where the facepaints are mobilised-
Hundreds and thousands painstakingly assembled with ladybugs and escargot-
And milk and tomato sauce shot at windows and geisha-Marie.
26 October 2009
In the autumnleaf yellow-bathed forest of Le Bonhomme
Miro and Daddy find a treehouse
While the girls steal the flying fox.
25 October 2009
Arriving in Alsace after a 6 hour trip from Paris
(And half as long again
floundering in the wintery wilderness
in search of the house!)
Miro finds some extra energy around the dinner table.
24 October 2009
At the wedding of Axel and Michelle...
Miro is sick, but after whimpering, lucky enough
To be offered a position wedged between Sarkozy
And the adjoint au maire du 5eme arrodissement.
Ooh la la !
23 October 2009
Miro waits for Mummy to open the door
So that after the shower,
He can do his Royal Walk around the apartment!
22 October 2009
Miro discovers giant multicoloured bunnies
- 'Hundreds and thousands' of them -
While strolling with Dave and Michelle along the Seine
On a bright sunny Paris day.
21 October 2009
On a drizzly rainy day before Medan
Miro has a jumpersnuggle with Mummy and his nounou.
20 October 2009
We spend an afternoon walking around Montmartre
Looking for the ghost of Louise Michel...
As well as "chocolate crepe" !
19 October 2009
Miro discovers a baby doll left behind by the Straumann girls
And independently starts showering it with love and affection.
Tenderly, he cuddles it, kisses its face and gives it water...
Then, when they sit on Mummy's lap together, he gives baby Mummy's hair!
18 October 2009
Miro sporting his recently- acquired "chocolate cake" face...
(I.e., in times of despair, just mention "chocolate cake", and get this smile!)
Later, Mamiedou's apartment is turned into a wild screaming harem
As Miro falls in love with all three Straumann girls.
Here, we squish into the elevator
For a late afternoon play in the park.
And Miro and Diane walk in front of the Eiffel Tower
Hand-in-hand.
17 October 2009
At a big 3-times family birthday shindig
Miro meets his cousins Ariana and Samuel for the first time
15 October 2009
On a freezing sunshiney Paris day, Miro must become accustomed
To playing with thousands of well-dressed children
On limited equipment, while wearing a big fat jacket!
(He is embarrassed every time he falls over)
But the gentil big boys soon cheer him up
By including him in a rowdy game of soccer.
***
Later Tata Clo-Clo showers Miro with yet more presents...
Including (delight of all delights!) bubbles !
14 October 2009
Miro's first hours in Paris!
Despite the misery of jetlag...
By the afternoon,
Miro gets his groove on enough to open cadeaux from Mamiedou
And meet someone very special...
Tata Clo-Clo's guinea-pig "La Grosse"!
13 October 2009
Miro catches up on his only sleep for 24 hours
In the Waldorf Astoria lobby.
Shortly after, he's all full of trks and excitement
At taking the plane once more!
12 October 2009
On a mosey through Chelsea Markets, Miro is overjoyed to find a Nutella jar as big as his head!
Later, on the High-Line, there's time for a little relaxing, and a lot of loving nou-nou...
10 October 2009
Stroller-creaking gently around windy Brooklyn
Miro watches cars and trucks pass below the bridge
In fascination.
9 October 2009
Miro is still obsessed with Mummy's hair...
And uses it to fall into blissful museum sleep
His first meeting with his namesake only in dreams...
8 October 2009
The proud owner of some snuggly jumpers
We take a wander in Central Park.
Miro only wants to be carried...
Until the squirrels and puppy dogs are cunningly utilised
To create a TRKTRK distraction!
