Matai About Town
One photo a day, every day of his life.
25 November 2012
Matai.
Wanderer-away and rock-climber.
24 November 2012
Hunting out pirate caves
And pretty girls to talk to...
23 November 2012
Late-afternoon Sleeping Beauty...
And then dinnertime Beast!
22 November 2012
Nanna cuddles...
In between racing the length and breadth of the cafe
In a most naughty fashion.
21 November 2012
The Gang
Taking control of the pirate ship!
20 November 2012
Chippies with Paulee
19 November 2012
Our little Pacific Islander
Loves to decorate his body.
"You look like a tiger," says Miro.
"Yes," says Tai, with satisfaction.
18 November 2012
A typical four-boy hug!
17 November 2012
Delivering 16 bamboo to Matt and Cat's house,
The bus blooms into a verdant tropical forest,
A peaceful Tai beneath the canopy.
16 November 2012
As it gets ever closer to bedtime,
The big boys get ever wilder...
15 November 2012
Tonight Matai asks to cuddle Nanny in her bed
But he can't go in there dirty!
Quick as a whip, he's in the shower,
Earnestly soaping, towel-drying and pyjamaing
Before snuggling deep into her rosy aroma
Watching cartoons together.
14 November 2012
Shower boys
Under a makeshift umbrella.
13 November 2012
Little Taiby Leprachaun
Playing in the purple snow.
12 November 2012
Momentous day
As Matai briefly tolerates
A babeesh near the train tracks.
And having a "Tup of Tea"
Which to him, just means biscuits
Dunked, with his little fingers held just so...
11 November 2012
Tai brings his skateboard up the Coast
And is not convinced when we try to encourage him on the small slopes to start with.
"I want to go to those," he says, pointing at the huge quarter pipes.
...And proving it's never too early to take the mickey out of dubious music T-shirts
10 November 2012
Playing with the paint stamps
But having so much more fun staining his hands.
9 November 2012
Today was Matai's special day
Where he got to go somewhere of his choosing:
Animals? Or fish? Tai adamantly said Fish.
He loved the little fish ("baby fish") best;
And got chatty with a great suctioned octopus;
Carrying his beloved Transformer everywhere;
Running from one room to the next.
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.
7 November 2012
The Little King dines
While Nanny "feemee"s
On his favourite fare,
In his favourite t-shirt,
Complete with favourite spoon.
6 November 2012
The sweetest perplexity;
Repeating himself in curiosity.
5 November 2012
Day Two of the Great Dinner Standoff:
Matai is forced to submit to feeding himself;
But dinner goes half uneaten.
Stalemate!
4 November 2012
Day One of the Great Dinner Standoff -
Tai gains one point for having someone "Feemee"
3 November 2012
Weekend at the Gong ~
Steering the pirate ship
And jingling Miderman along the fence beside
The steely choppy ocean.
2 November 2012
Halloween disco!
The best time to dance shyly, eat cakes and play with spiders.
1 November 2012
Pizza Friday... on a Thursday!
31 October 2012
Footloose, bare-bottomed and fancy-free...
30 October 2012
Hanging out with the gang
In Archie and Rosie's garden.
29 October 2012
Miro pushes Tai and Lowie
Ever, ever higher....
28 October 2012
Finding the same toy in a cafe that we have at home;
Eating his finger and singing!
27 October 2012
Matai adores getting close to a baby pigeon
With the help of Uncle Bugs and Aunty Michelle.
26 October 2012
Uncle Stevee is the
funniest
!
When he pops a white fig cutting behind his ear!
