Back to NY + Mia Goes to Gan + Turned 1.5 Years Old

Mia at the Gan during the Chanukah Party!

Our little Mia is adapting really quickly to all her new activities. She started going to the Day Care! And she loves it! The Gan Chabbad House is an amazing place and we are feeling so happy to have found this place where our Mia can play, learn, make friends and have fun! She can eat sitting on the table and take naps with her friends! At the Gan they do yoga, dance classes and make Challah bread every friday! She is developing and growing in a friendly, educative and warm place where her teacher speaks portuguese (she is brazilian!), hebrew (she lived in Israel for 2.5 years!) and english! We can't believe we found that perfect place for our daughter! And it's in Brooklyn, Williamsburg! So close to our home! We couldn't be happier! :)

Mia in Israel { 2 Months with Tata and Hezi! }

Mia laughing in Israel!

Mia had an incredible amount of fun during those 2 months and a half in Israel with Tata and Hezi! She was so happy to spend more time with her israeli family! She wouldn't stop calling her uncles Ori and Amir and her cousins Adi, Yair and Omri! (That's the way she calls some of her loved ones: Heziiiiiiiiiiiii, Adiiiiiiiiiii, Oriiiiiiiiiiiiiiii). She learned to speak hebrew with a lot of Tata's input, to walk with Hezi's nonstop chair training, and to stay without her mama for 5 hours a day! Wow! So many accomplishments in so little time! She missed her dad a lot, but after 2 months apart, we finally got together again and had 2 marvelous weeks united in Tel Aviv! Everyday her mom would go to the Ulpan to learn hebrew and she would stay with Tata, and some days with Hezi! They would go to the park or to the Gimboree, to music classes or story telling. They had so much fun together and teached each other so many things! It was amazing, we all had a great time and we would like to thank them so much for such a warm, caring and wonderful stay! Hava, the neighbor was incredible and Mia also loved her immensely! It was so sweet to see Mia's development during those months of September and October...We started writing down all the new words in hebrew that Mia could speak, but at some point it got a little over control, we couldn't keep up with her anymore, she's "too fluent"! :) We will never forget those lovely moments...
