Miro catches up on his Tom and Jerry comic,
Patiently evading capture
By an intermittently enthusiastic Lowie.
11 November 2012
Miro's first real cross-country expedition on his BMX.
The fear, the elation, the repetition...
And afterwards, the pride.
8 November 2012
Miro and Matai are obsessed with collecting every Thomas and Chuggington train in existence,
And building rails all over Toad Hall to carry them.
6 November 2012
Today, Miro builds a high-rise apartment
And sells Nanny a floor (with rooftop garden) for 5 cents...
Then proceeds to offer the same one to Leelee for nicks!
Nanny complains she's been had!
5 November 2012
Miro tries to negotiate with an exiled Matai
On Day Two of the Great Dinner Standoff.
3 November 2012
Miro is such a sweet big brother;
All tenderness with his babies;
And in return, they are filled with
Boundless admiration, inspiration, emulation...
And love.

Miro is SO excited before his "dicsho"
But the excitement of being a skeleton pirate quickly turns to consternation
When he realises he will have to dance
("I don't like to dance," he says sternly).
Still, after cupcakes and cordial,
He is enticed to one rapid conga line
With select besties, Benjamin and Peter.

Fun in the sun
With Tai and Vicky Cristina;
Cheese sandwiches, sunscreen and plenty of bare.
28 October 2012
Brief summer romance:
Miro meets Melissa at the beach in Avalon
And is instantly besotted...
27 October 2012
In the garden, eating pizzas,
Touching pigeons, following rabbits,
Meeting new cousin Thomas,
Talking Transformers with Joshua,
And watching aeroplanes write
Half-finished messages across the sky...
25 October 2012
The sweet smoky haze of setting day~
Uncle Daney brings home a football,
Papa comes home early,
And Miro learns to catch.
Not always accurately!
24 October 2012
Alley op! The other way.
It's a New Pyjama Fashion Parade
Down the length of the kitchen.
23 October 2012
After a successful day shopping,
In which the boys enthusiastically point us to each of their hearts' desires,
The end up with some drink bottles
And cluster up the kitchen filling them.
22 October 2012
The biggest singlehanded tidy-up there ever was!
It takes 2 hours and results in Miro
Finding all sorts of toys he forgot he had.
20 October 2012
At Davina's birthday BBQ
Miro can't wait to get his fingers on the piano,
And plays admirably around his lolly bag.
19 October 2012
Miro watching Spongebob,
His and Tai's cherished sticker charts behind...
5 more rows till a giant Transformer!
18 October 2012
Miro is so excited when Mummy comes to preschool to take photos of his friends
And wants to help organise the kids, engaging beloved Theresa in the task.
Later in the morning, he draws her wonder when he creates a Memory game
From a builders' notepad, and proceeds to explain to her the rules.
Finally, he squeals into Jack
When Mummy becomes the Tickly Octopus!
15 October 2012
On our way to the pool
At Nanna's apartment,
Where Mummy teaches Miro to dog-paddle,
Papa pulls him round the pool,
And there's a hot spa to bubble in afterwards...
14 October 2012
The most miraculous restaurant lunch
With four impeccable boys,
Headed by an always-impeccable Papa :)
13 October 2012
The biggest obsession in the kitchen right now
Are these highly environmentally malicious too-fun plastic sandwich bags.
Miro vacillates between wanting Mr Strong or Mr Happy
To put assorted trains, planes and automobiles inside.
12 October 2012
When Miro learns
That he left his Octonauts book in the rain
He cries enough tears
To soak another.
9 October 2012
Today we meet Burginie at the playground,
And buy a special Spiderman Transformers Bonus,
On Miro's extra-special request.
8 October 2012
On a day where we lose the car keys
The only thing to do is to go exploring in the front garden;
Discovering magical walking stick wands and wandering
Through the long jungley grass.
