There was a question about the painting, so I'll translate what Liya wrote about it for the Hebrew-impaired:
My talented younger sister painted this painting. In the painting she's blowing bubbles with Mikael. The painting is made in chalk colors.
Liya and Havva and Maayan Shachar all went together to pick up Mikael from day care and enjoyed the atmosphere there so much they hung around and played with him there for a while. It really is a nice and mellow place. They said, by the way, that Mikael was busy talking up a storm all afternoon. Mikael has been more and more talkative and we're excited (Liya) or concerned (Opher) that pretty soon the talking will coalesce into words and Mikael will be able to tell us exaclty what he's thinking and what he wants.
Zeev Ehrlich, who is the sensei at the Rehovot dojo, was at the seminar with his son Kazuki. Kazuki was really great with Mikael. He had some funny voices that Mikael thought were amazing. Also, during the contact improv class that Itay Yatuv taught on Friday night, Kazuki used a flashlight to play chase with Mikael (like you can do with a laser pointer and a cat). This kept them both very amused, and we are very grateful to Kazu who was also just generally very fun to have around.
Our very first non-family babysitter. Albina came today just for a trial run. Liya was with her for a while and then a short time after Liya left I showed up. She spent three hours with Mikael: watched him nap, fed him, took him for a walk (she didn't get along all that well with the Ergo), and generally seemed to think he was the best.
