The ol' Crazy Eye
(Why are you photographing me
When I'm trying to watch Percy?)

Magic tricks!
At Gran's 80th birthday.
Little chocolate-cake moustachioed Frenchman
Makes the family laugh during photos
And says the white rabbit is "mine"!

Extremely fragile during lunch at the Paragon;
Ceaselessly scratching and pinching Mummy's arm...

Wandering around the Children's Farm
On a day warm enough for no jackets
Is grassy blissful freedom.
Matai loves it when he's licked by a friendly horse!
After, they're given the gift of wandering free-range
Through the maze of community vegetable gardens
Where they explore, make an unknown friend
And explore some more.

Tai's little disobedient happy dance
Ends our time in the slippery tongue park,
Singing us back to the car with red-eyed wails
And pleas for a rapid doh-doh.
19 July 2012
The boys love the Scienceworks museum
And particularly the construction zone
Where Matai and Miro diligently move bricks
And only restless twins who want to crawl
Make us leave their conscientious bliss.
18 July 2012
Matai in the treehouse
Minutes before becoming impossibly stuck
And tearfully refusing to come down,
Whilesoever desperately wanting to.
17 July 2012
Windylocks
At gusty Albert Park
Followed by a chew of the fat
And cheese and tomato sandwiches
When the electricity goes off at Oscar's place.
16 July 2012
Lunch with Reuben - delicious orange cake and pasta -
Followed by mud pies, doggy love
(Matai deliberately positioning his head under Rupert's tail so that it swishes through his hair!)
And leaping from the ladder into the bean bag. Wheee !
15 July 2012
Matai doesn't mind the cold at Kew Paddock,
So long as he's running pellmell with Miro and Reuben,
And following his exertions with banana bread at the after-warm cafe.
14 July 2012
We spend an exciting afternoon at the museum
Where Tai plays with animal puppets in little hollows;
Creates ziggurats from great foam blocks;
And runs and runs and runs.....
Later, when we get to Reuben's place for a sleepover
He's slept too late in the evening,
And even a bath is a cause for tragic tears.
13 July 2012
Our afternoon begins amicably
On Matai's beloved teacups
But quickly degenerates on receiving the horror of fairy floss(!)
11 July 2012
Auntie Sloane and Mummy spend the whole of Birthday lunch
Chasing Tai away from the exit door, and pulling him down from climbing the ladder.
At the end, Sloane is left with a pair of pants
Swinging jauntily in her hands
As Matai runs out into the windy alley, nudey-legged,
Hair whipping wildly, screaming with fun.
10 July 2012
Rainy day. Spotty cookie.
Walking hand-in-hand through a squiffy deserted DFO
And then under bridges; backpacked beside the river.
Too-big ponchos; Tai freaking out about hoodies.
Ice chocolate at the Crepe cafe.
9 July 2012
Lunch with sausage rolls and submarines;
While at Wangaratta Tai asks in his usual characteristic way
(I.e. lots of hand action!) "Where's Miro gone?"
Dinner we arrive in Melbourne
And the boys unwind with a big bath and early bed.
8 July 2012
Tai desperately wishes he is old enough to bowl
At Archie's 4th birthday party
While Miro, who is old enough, doesn't want to !
Later, we drive to Yass for the night
Where he tries to escape the old fashioned doors,
And savours cuddles on the lounge with Mummy.
3 July 2012
Matai is ecstatic to see Din after a few weeks away
And honours him with the frequent under-sleeve Pinch of Love :)
2 July 2012
Munching down on buttered bread with Vegemite
Followed by a big bowl of Mullicatawny.
Eating's not a problem at Granny's place!
1 July 2012
Matai LOVES the Bondi Beautiful Festival
And keeps sneaking up onto the stage to dance
(Luckily the guitarist lets him!)
And charming the balloon man and midnight toker
To make him three balloon animals for free.
