Matai About Town
One photo a day, every day of his life.
5 July 2011
Tai and Miro go exploring
In the Into The Wild bus.
4 July 2011
Matai's cheeky naughty laugh
As he continually sneaks into the giant inflated rhinoceros area
And Daddy is forced to rescue him.
3 July 2011
Cupcake face
At the duckpond
2 July 2011
Matai adores Dave and Michelle's puppies
And spends the whole day just sitting with them,
Talking to them, and laying his head beside them when they rest.
Later, he devours 5 cakepops in a row,
And lulled by sun, slumbers in Mummy's arms.
1 July 2011
Matai loves Disneyland, dancing all through It's A Small World,
His little body rocking side to side, and eyes lit up in wonder.
He also loves the rides, especially the trains.
Here is Tai and Mummy on the carousel.
30 June 2011
Celebrating 4th July weekend
With Dave and Michelle in Orange.
29 June 2011
Our last steamy day in Shanghai...
Between showers and goldfish, we find a scrappy kitten
Seeking shelter beneath Tai's pram.
28 June 2011
Delighted with Daddy's house creation in the park...
And hating Miro pushing him in the pram!
27 June 2011
The Humble Administrator's Garden
Despite its beauty, is far from peaceful,
As crowd upon crowd descend upon the boys
For photographs, hugs and crackers!
26 June 2011
After every meal, the boys Must Run!
Later, we submit to Miro's pleading
And take the rowboat down the canal
Rowed by a feisty Suzhou grandma.
Finally, it's all smiles
For delicious rambutan tea.
25 June 2011
Delicious Sichuan cuisine
Followed by a tour of sad sealife.
24 June 2011
A real White Rabbit Gallery
In the twisty industrial art streets.
23 June 2011
First day in Shanghai
Is irrepressibly muggy
And followed by afternoon showers.
22 June 2011
Delayed by volcanic clouds,
Taking the plane to Shanghai.
21 June 2011
Soccer in Nanny's kitchen
Is Matai's persistent delight.
20 June 2011
Poor little brother
Being shoved around and never allowed
By Archie "Top Dog" Williamson!
19 June 2011
Tai in Joe and Kathleen's house
Playing on the iPad.
18 June 2011
Moving day!
Turns into washing window day
And waiting around all day day...
17 June 2011
Tai in the garden on Miro's birthday
As photographed by big brother.
16 June 2011
While Mummy and Daddy were packing boxes
They came back to this...
15 June 2011
Playing with the birthday balloons from the party table
On a rainy wintery celebration day at Nanny and Din's.
14 June 2011
Bathing beauty in the bubbles.
13 June 2011
When Matai is really really happy, he sometimes kind of frowns.
This is him expressing delight at his favourite breakfast in the world, porridge,
Coming at him from three bowls!
12 June 2011
Dinnertime shenanigans with Miro and Vicky
Leave Matai pretty happy!
11 June 2011
Little by little, it's becoming easier to snooze with Tai
And in the freezing afternoon, we have a family nap,
Before Mummy and Miro sneak out, leaving Daddy and Matai to slumber...
10 June 2011
Miro, A.K.A. "The Goo Whisperer",
Undaunted by Matai's continuing reliance on "Mum" for universal expression
Determined that Little Brother wanted to come in the box with him
Before quickly realising that No, Goo did not want to be in the box!
9 June 2011
Bliss is ~
Helping Daddy with power tools
Undoing Miro's bed.
8 June 2011
Thwarted by Din's cunning tying together of the cupboard doors
Matai still manages a smile. He loves to hear No!
7 June 2011
Climber extraordinaire...
On antique tabletops, bins and boxes...
Zeroing in on microwaves and biscuits.
6 June 2011
Matai, finger at the ready for iPad.
5 June 2011
Matai loves books
And asks us to read him one or the other
At least ten times a day.
Other times, he curls up somewhere cosy
And leafs through the pages himself.
4 June 2011
Typical park doggie-love...
3 June 2011
After fun with a chalkboard at Miro's school,
It's time for Wambie Whoppers and seagull chip frenzies!
2 June 2011
We go to Leura to see Maia,
Eating double pizzas through the afternoon,
Stamping in puddles and exploring the damp furze,
Tripping through bark and underbrush.
1 June 2011
Our helpful little man
Loves nothing better
Than sweeping, vacuuming and wiping down.
31 May 2011
Big happy family
Walking back to the car
Through the Botanical Gardens in the rain.
30 May 2011
Dinner with Kate at the Showground,
Running circles 'round the table!
