While Leo is currently visiting his grandparents solo, I'm trying to keep Miro occupied, and offer him some together time with his dad. It seems we've always done everything as a full family unit, and I don't think personal father-to-son bonding is very easy when there are others around.
Anyway, took Miro to the family park in Laune today. Miro seemed to like it, first taking a kick scooter in the traffic park while I was relaxing in the park bench. Then we found ourselves climbing the spiderwebs for a while.
We then took a quick pause to eat a hamburger with coffee (for me) and raspberryjuice (for Miro), hamburger which Miro then declined to eat, along with the juice, so I had to eat the rest. Thank goodness I hadn't bought two of them, I'm trying to lose some extra weight off my mid-section. (Saved the juice for Miro despite his protestations).
I soon realized I hadn't taken any photos, so I started shooting as we came back to the park grounds after the coffee and hamburger.
Swinging... Grinning...
The day was full of smiles and kind of unusual in the way that Miro didn't mind the occasional touch. He was even holding my hand a lot, a thing he doesn't do very often, and talking to other kids.
The charm in speed...
I mean he really likes to talk. He would talk to people of all ages, races or genders, I bet he'd talk non-stop with aliens from space if he'd get the chance. He just doesn't keep anything in.
Spinning and posing #1
He's begun to accept that his father is always taking photographs, and is becoming more or less a lens bug himself. Nowadays it's been easier day by day to take a photo of him.
He's all smiles!
...and so cute and handsome.
We also went to check out the silly little boats in the silly little river.
Letting the boat go...
...and catching it again (to pour the water out)
Miro is an exceptional kid, as he can at one moment be full of joy and laughter, and in the next all hell breaks loose.
The pose is off... Hole in
In the end, we went minigolfing. That might have been a mistake on my part. I guess Miro was starting to get a bit tired, and when he started losing in the game, he put up quite a show. First he tried to break the putter, then he started hitting the golf courses. At the height of his outburst, he decided to swing the putter at another party playing over the adjacent course. Gladly no-one was hit, but I was quite ashamed about it. (Aspergers is a possibility, and when he starts school this Fall, the school psychologist will take it upon her to see to it that he gets diagnosed. It has all been pre-arranged for us, gladly.)
So, I kind of skipped the rest of the courses and gave random scores for Miro to keep him calm. Then I drove us home.
There's still a lot I'd like to tell about today's happenings, but my back started aching a while ago and I'm a bit tired too, so I think I'll stop this story short. Maybe I'll find time to write about it some other day.
Thanks for reading. It is always fun to write here. :)
See you all again soon!
