Matai's first ever Easter Egg.
28 March 2011
While Miro is watching Play School
Matai likes to come and turn the sound off
And laughs at us if we nicely ask him to stop.
But kicks up a fuss if we force him!
27 March 2011
Matai's first painting
Is a rainbow of happy spongy swirls
And two fiery orange splashes across the forehead.
22 March 2011
Matai loves the park and tolerates his gigantic flappy hat
For the fun of peeking through castle windows and walking slopes with Bandoo
(And falling a little bit too!)
21 March 2011
Poor little Matai has a tumble in the shops today,
Cracking his head on a seat and becoming a Klingon.
He is still his happy self though,
And loves tickles and hugs with Bandoo, as well as Dolly.
18 March 2011
Matai is awe-struck by the racing car restaurant
And just as obsessed by the kids in the TV room,
Spending all his time running between the table and there
While people tell Mummy and Daddy how cute he is.
17 March 2011
Matai spends Daddy's Australianisation ceremony
Joining the barber shop singers as they go backstage
And generally, escaping.
13 March 2011
* Matai loves an audience! *
After watching, fascinated, while the kids dance at Tom's christening after-party
Matai gets the stars in his eyes, and suddenly, for the audience
Runs towards them with his little bare chest inflated, arms triumphantly in the air,
Before persistently dancing alongside the big kids, unbidden
And trying to breakdance too !
12 March 2011
Matai shows what a determined little person he is becoming
When he insists on walking up the hill by himself on our bushwalk...
Later, there are his favourite stairs to scale
(Even if carved out of rockface!)
And a swing to share with his much-loved Daddy.
11 March 2011
Today Matai is fascinated by the tumbling car
And picks up the technique, quick as a whistle.
10 March 2011
At Lobster Beach, Matai finds his sickness lifted
And walks the rocks, exploring, and pointing in fascination at the passing boats;
Before they saw the giant... OH. MY. GOD!!
9 March 2011
A shopping Wednesday with Nanny
Is shared between letting Matai run loose !
And strapping him screaming in the pram...
Here he is with Molly, the Belly-Buttoned Bear.
8 March 2011
A morning at the Art Gallery
Where Tai runs amok and wants not to touch the paintings
But to ride the escalators!
We manage to temporarily distract him with a dragon
But outside, he wriggles from Bandoo's grasp yet again.
Monsieur Touche-Partout!

6 March 2011
Doing the great big walk up the Skillion
Requires some chippy sustenance
Before he insists on conquering all those much-loved stairs!
5 March 2011
One of the only smiles we get all day
Is when Miro dresses up in Tai's birthday lion suit
And RARs at him while bounding across the room.
Later, the squishy fish face makes a more frequent appearance!
4 March 2011
Fixing the bike that Mummy sat on and broke
Has Matai even happier than when he's riding it!
1 March 2011
The small lovely little smile
That crosses Matai's face
On seeing his birthday bath frogs.
28 February 2011
This funny little squashed fish face keeps cropping up over the last week or so
And it seems like he does it when he's really happy !
Matai loves his garlic bread and the tiny shimmying blue crabs
At lunch with Nanna and Bandoo in Patonga.
