Matai, Miro and Mummy walk into town -
Dodging fat heavy raindrops
And seagulls seeking sultanas -
To meet Daddy at work.
At the restaurant, Matai
Only wants cuddles from Daddy, not Miro!

27 March 2010
After a morning of Grumps, pub food, and Ultimo Annual Festival
Everyone is tired, and relaxes the afternoon away
While outside a wind whips the eucalypt
And music and people's happy voices carry on the draft.
26 March 2010
Matai has a day where he suddenly realises
That the squeaky wheel gets oil
And starts to make real cries
In barter for constant cuddles.
Later, we go to Bondi Beach
But again, he spends it mostly in Arms.

Nanny is Matai's current Family Favourite
And has given her a total of Six Smiles
Where everyone else is waiting for just one !
Mummy takes the camera out in an effort to grasp
One elusive smile in progress...
Matai buckles under the performance pressure!

It's a day of little mishaps for the Littlest Maitre.
First, a gust of cheeky wind
Picks up the picnic rug corner at Wattalmolla,
Covering Matai in a fairy dusting of sand grit.
Later, his little hand goes walkabout
And ends up being stuck at the bottom
Of a King Island Dairy cooler bag,
Which isn't fun at all !
22 March 2010
Matai is delicate and deliberate with his hands
Commonly putting them into the position
That Mummy recognises as the Abhaya Mudra.
Buddha allegedly made this gesture immediately after achieving enlightenment
And in Sanskrit, represents fearlessness, protection and peace.

A Sunday Art Adventure
Leads Matai through streets
Where forest bursts from factories
And streets are named Dick.
20 March 2010
After cake, and during chats in the warm park
Where Miro and Ayden squeal and scale stairs -
Splash each other in the sun...
Matai nestles into a set of boobies Not His Own
And examines Cat's soft breast.
19 March 2010
In Matai's increasing wakeful hours
He and Daddy share a discussion
Of forming little voices.
18 March 2010
Matai spends Shopping Thursday sleeping all day
And the promised "wakeful period" in the afternoon never comes.
But not to be deterred, Nanny bundles him up snug after cuddles
And the two spend the evening in the Bali Bed, watching television
And Matai still ~
Sleeping.
17 March 2010
Miro loves being close to Matai at every opportunity
And tries to show him the virtues of both Autos and the computer all at once!
16 March 2010
The paradox about Being Matai
Is that, while generally desperate to suck
Everything but Mummy tastes so bad !
15 March 2010
On a brilliant Sydney day with Autumn chill
Matai heads to Manly Dam
To sleep peacefully while ducks attempt lunch larceny
And later, to walk along the road to Sector 4
While Miro holds the pram side and sings and hops.
14 March 2010
After grunting and sighing all the way through Alice in Wonderland...
Matai comes home, and talks to his bright toys too.
(Today he also rolls for the very first time!)
12 March 2010
Closely examining his bright new bumblebee~
Matai reaches out to touch the crinkly bits
