Playtime with Ollie -
Tai's first own special friend -
Is starting to get fun, with copious sharing,
Dancing, kissing and searching out mischief.
29 February 2012
Granny & Pop come bearing gifts
And a great big box, with balloons,
That the boys climb into and respectively
Release with laughing delight.
27 February 2012
Matai's first haircut !
Nanny and Gailee accompany;
Nanny woefully mourning his lost curls.
The hairdresser laughs
And calls him Little Elvis
For his serious pout.
But after, he can't resist
Checking himself out!
26 February 2012
Gorgeous little dirty-faced boy
Eating chippies, riding tricycle, begging for ice-cream,
And fighting Miro to watch the brand new Octonauts sheets
Spinning round and round in the washing machine.
25 February 2012
A happier face is not in existence!
Matai goes wild about the parachute and coloured balls
At Miro's preschool picnic.
24 February 2012
Master of the slow blinks and sooky face
Tai maintains them against cheeky Ollie
As the littler tries to steal his yoghurt!
22 February 2012
Exploring the rusting old oil tanks;
Dancing dangerously close to the harbour;
And eating little bits of bricks.
Just another Wednesday in the art park!
21 February 2012
Miro and Matai
Are really the best of friends
And doubly happy when they're in the park!
20 February 2012
Every week when they spend Thursdays together,
Din is teaching Matai how to read...
18 February 2012
Matai adores his Chuggington birthday cake
Though is not so sure about the Happy Birthday singing,
Nor the "Know It!" glasses!
17 February 2012
At Aunty Lucy's birthday lunch
Matai shows his little teeth secret
In opening the fridge lock!
16 February 2012
Our beautiful boy turns Two.
Big brother eagerly helps him open his presents
And you've never seen a boy so delighted with his gifts !
(He even asks Mummy to take more photos of him and his toys
When the camera is put down!)
He spends a lovely morning with Din, at the park
And eating sponge and cream gateau in the kitchen with everyone after.
13 February 2012
Stormy weather ~
Last day of house arrest.
Where Archie and Rose come to play to play animals
And Matai takes it from there...
12 February 2012
In trying to deliver a long-winded moral story to Miro in the morning
We suddenly notice that Tai has been suspiciously silent
And emerge to breakfast, only to find
He's already helped himself to 6 yoghurts !
11 February 2012
Getting into mischief at Din and Nanny's house
After the daily ritual of
Running pellmell down the hallway
And straight out the back door, into the garden.
Later, we notice that Matai often sports a sooky look
Whenever he has cuddles or kindness from Din...
He's working the "cute" angle !
10 February 2012
It's so much fun to crash tackle Stevee when he comes to visit !
And, from the way Tai holds his Chuggington tshirt
We start to wonder if he's making it into a dodo....
9 February 2012
The aftermath of a day at Din's,
Unwinding with Miro and Toy Story.
Earlier, hurtling down the hall
To be confronted with a Chuggington tricycle
And awed speechless.
8 February 2012
The boys aren't meant to penetrate the treasured study
But often do, trying to shove DVDs into random computer slots,
Or discovering old retro Playschool videos on YouTube.
7 February 2012
Happy as a lark
In the combined lounge-kitchen
Of his brand new cubby house...
A birthday gift from Nanna!
5 February 2012
Tai and Miro regularly climb
The precarious stretch of shelves
To reach the fabled chocolate box
Hidden at the top.
But on a sunshiny Sunday,
Nobody should work too hard!
4 February 2012
Tai is slowly conquering his fears of water
Through a splashy morning share shower
And starting to enjoy it!
3 February 2012
Matai's refusals to wear any clothing
Are now starting to hold weight,
As he can take anything we put on,
Off again.
So this morning we come out the Winners
By dressing him in a shirt with buttons on! (haha!)
He's furious when he sees how we've got him!
2 February 2012
In the excitement of Miro's first day at preschool
Matai has a backpack, too
All ready for a day of fun at Din's place
And he is just as proud !
Later, after a day that fulfils all promises,
He cries when he comes back home
As Din and Nanny drive away in the rain.
1 February 2012
Rainy day in Sydney ~
Pouring, relentless wet.
Tai wakes early from his afternoon dodo
To find Mummy scavenging scraps of naps with the babies.
He lies beside the warmth of her and Bastien,
And promptly falls asleep.
29 January 2012
Bandoo's artistic interpretation of "soft toys"
Sees the boys exhibit them, then pour them all over the hammock swing
And tussel over who gets to ride !
