Our beautiful one year old Bastien
Is into everything dirty, messy or delicious,
As he plays in the leaves and the gift wrap,
Nabs numerous guest cuddles,
And snoozes while his guests play petanque,
On his very First birthday party.

18 December 2012
Playing in the washing basket,
Bastien demonstrating the Ride 'Em Cowboy hold
That often makes Lowan wail!
17 December 2012
There are plenty of hands to help Bastien and Lowan
Celebrate their First Birthday!
We love them so much and are so excited to see
The beautiful little men they are and are becoming.
Their presents: a ball each (much beloved)
And some lovely sleeping bags.

Bastien can't wait to get into Aunty Julie's pool
And plunges in, clothes and all,
Beaming with happiness, splashing and kicking,
Loving Papa's arms and Miro's kisses.
15 December 2012
Christmas lunch
And a triple birthday celebration
See the chaos of life
Rearrange into a beautiful symmetry.

Although Nanny spotted Bastien's first steps a few days ago,
Today he can't resist breaking into tentative little jerking footsteps,
Particularly when Din uses cake as a destination!

After an impromptu Argentinean chocolate party with Nanny,
Bastien moonlights as Plonko on Din's comfy lap.

8 December 2012
Clovelly with Joe, Kathleen and Tomas...
Bastien kept busy chasing other children's balls.
7 December 2012
Coveting the roses
And discovering Heart of Gold
On a Nanny daytrip to her beloved Swanes.

5 December 2012
The chaos of Japanese at Broadway
Sees Bas and Lo spread a glorious rainbow
Of food scraps in a radius around our tables...
After, we play at the playground,
Where Bastien loves climbing up the slippery dip,
And sliding down backwards,
Again and again.
4 December 2012
The crazy playtime minutes
Between bath, desperate escapes from towel and pyjamas,
And sudden realisation of dressing-gown and impending milk,
Turning the wild elation to frantic tears.

27 November 2012
The boys try to escape the house as Papa sets off for work...
And later, at Leo, Miranda and Hugo's house,
Bastien stays suspiciously quiet as everyone else plays in the yard...
Only to be found in bedroom heaven, going through Leo's Big Boy toys.
26 November 2012
With Lowan and Bastien desperate to play trains with their big brothers
The phrase "GO AWAY LITTLE BABEESH!" can be so disappointing!!
