The days and nights have turned freezing
But Matai doesn't care
And takes his socks and shoes off at every opportunity;
Begging for bike pushes up and down the icy concrete.
26 April 2012
Goo's beloved Thursdays with Din
Tucked in his little bed-on-the-floor
Watching Chuggers till slumber takes him;
Din smoothing his hair.
25 April 2012
A stroll in the cool sunshine
To the local ANZAC Day service
Sees us arriving minutes too late!
But Matai enjoys fishing the ice cubes out of his orange juice...
Later he finds a new friend in the garden!
24 April 2012
Miro and Matai in their nightly dinosaur-roar
Rough and tumble all over the kitchen floor!
23 April 2012
Matai is pretty excited about Lowan's first foray into upright playtime
And spends all his time trying to bounce him, or pushing past
To run between the kitchen and the laundry...
22 April 2012
Bandoo was meant to take the plane back to Paris today...
Tai is so happy that she's still with us for a few weeks more!
19 April 2012
The chaos of our morning Bali Bed
Where Matai requests DeeBix at 6:43am,
Miro wants to snuggle under the quilts and play with Mummy's hair,
And the twins want milk...perhaps some upright cuddles... but definitely milk!
17 April 2012
Helping to cook dinner
Tai also decides to be completely hygienic
And tie his hair back.
15 April 2012
Tai loves to jump over
Anyone who's in anything vaguely hammocky
And pregnant bellies or no!
14 April 2012
Matai loves playing with Ayden, Vicky and Miro
On the roof of Victoria's apartment;
Running like crazy kids, till gradually, it all gets too much...
But how could he ever be cranky at the cake?!
13 April 2012
Since Tai has had a perpetual cold
His little grubby face looks perpetually like this.
No amount of cleaning ever cleans it up!
11 April 2012
Having been a little bit sick
Matai gets the bath all to himself this afternoon
And spends almost an hour singing softly to himself,
Playing with the animals and his bateau.
10 April 2012
After a little more haywire return trip from Jindabyne
Matai calms down in a slow, hot bath...
8 April 2012
Tai can't decide whether he wants to walk or ride on Papa or Mummy's back
When we go for a walk at Thredbo.
Luckily, with the whole family unnaturally obsessed with their cameras
We don't get very far anyway!
Here is Tai with Papa and Miro, perched on a Photo-Opportunity branch...
And the little paper daisy that Matai carried everywhere with him.
7 April 2012
The Easter Bunny has come!
Matai bursts into ecstasy with the cries of "Dumpty Wall!"
And we walk around the sunny lake at Jindabyne
Before having picnic at the Hatchling park, bathed in yellow
Beside a rushing, icy stream.
6 April 2012
Arriving at Crackenback
After a peaceful day in the car,
Hunting playgrounds and munching sandwiches
With nary an iPad in sight!
The boys run gleefully across the bushy grass
Until Tai stops, curious about Papa's new toy!
5 April 2012
Uh-OH!
Extremely sheepish
At drawing all over the carpet
With permanent texta...
(luckily it all came off... every bit of it!)
4 April 2012
Bleary-eyed and rumpled
After only half an hour's dodo,
Tai somnambulantly eats Bandoo's lunch.
3 April 2012
Matai's favourite word for today is "everywhere".
Here, he shows us how the texta he has used to draw
Has somehow ended up "everywhere"...
30 March 2012
Nowadays, whenever Tai
Does a poo, he starts stripping off his clothes,
Starting with his shirt.
We don't know why!
