My parents are simply damn lazy. Four quarters with no update to my web site. I think they got the hint now, and you're getting a whole year's worth in one page. My dad complained about computer problems, but when I offer to help fix the computer, he gets really stressed. Well, there were a lot of changes this year. I'll step through them one by one now. Summer time was great. First and foremost, I discovered the concept of ice-cream. I have no idea how this stuff escaped me for so long. I think it makes for a very balanced lunch (and dinner!)

My aba and I spent many evenings of summer hanging out together at Tully's (the coffee shop close to our house). Everybody there liked me, and after a while they invented a new drink for me, called the "Children Cappuccino".

I really like "swimming" in the pool. Even when it doesn't have water and is in the middle of the livingroom.

And of course, my birthday is in summer, and I really can't complain about the cake. I wish they let me cut my own piece though!

I went with my parents on a few trips.

On this one I found a friendly horse to ride on (as my aba was feeding it quarters, which I found hilarious).

Found many good moments for hugs

... and discovered the game of chess! I wonder what you do with the pieces that don't fit on your finger...

I got to know a few good friends. This is Adi, my friend from Israel, who showed me around on the beach.

I'm into hair now, and I thought I'd try out a few wigs:

And of course, you can never hug your mommy too much!!

This whole dressing thing is quite intriguing. My popo buys me very colorful dresses, and everybody enjoys when I try them on.

Only a few months after learning to take my socks off, I can now actually put my socks on (I still don't understand why anyone would want to do that). But putting my aba's socks on is much more fun!

I got a nice outfit for Halloween; am I cute or what?

Then, later in the fall, we made our annual pilgrimage to the hot springs. As you can see, I make everybody around me very happy!

And then, there was the performance. Around holiday time, my colleagues and I joined together to entertain our parents. You can see the preparations and the performance. Rumor has it that I was the star of the show. You can see a couple of movies here and here of the show, and a movie of me performing solo a few months earlier.

Finally, here are some holiday pictures. I kind of like this Hanuka thing, and I'm looking forward to Pesach!
