Today we celebrated Chinese New Year. As it will be the Year of the Dragon, Sara got chopsticks with a golden Dragon. Surprisingly Sara managed to eat her Chinese Dragon Noodles without help. After singing a few chinese songs, we watched the Chinese New Year Show on CCTV9. We wish you all:
...are a girl's best friends. This is how our princess likes to dress up with all her jewerly.
That's my favourite game at the moment. I hide my self - more or less and the little wooden cow and the wooden penguin have to seek me again and again.
I went to an exibithion at the famous Zürich University. It was about architecture. After that I went to the zoological collection. Lot's of animals. One thing was strange: the animals did not move.
Waited that long. Finally it was there. This magical moment mummy and daddy had told me about. I even painted a picture of the bracelet I had seen in a shop in Zürich. There were thousands of toys, but when I saw that wooden bracelet, I knew that is the one. Mummy had to write 'Für's Christkind' and 'Sara' on it. And then we posted it. And waited and waited... until...
...from the cookie jar? Who me, can not be! Sara loves the cookies her granddad and her aunties baked for her. Of course we did some baking with Sara too. But guess who stole the cookies?
Christmas Eve. I'm baking the little 'Jesus Baby' with my dad. Waiting for the "Christkind" to come.
宝宝学汉语。Sara enjoys learning chinese. She can already say a few words like 'nose' or 'tiger' and she understands even more: clap your hands, stomp your feet, jump,... It's amazing how fast little children 'pick up' a language.
Oktober. When we are in Zürich we often walk to a small zoo. Sara loves to watch the animals, especially the goats. They always come close and want some grass. Especially the black goat on the picture. But one day the goat decided to bite into Sara's shirt. Sara was shocked. Two month later she is still telling everyone the story: "Meck, Lieble bissa! Netta, muss eiei!"
September/October. Sara enjoys hiking in Fraxern at the weekends. There she can see lots of animals: cows, chicken, horses, two rabbits, sheep... Sara loves all those animals, but she loves her two donkeys most. Their barn is only five minutes from our home, so she feeds them almost every day. Sara: "Esel Gräsle gia. Stop Auto kunnt." 
In September we spent a few days in Santo Stefano al Mare (Italy). Daddy wanted to take some pictures, but his two 'fish' needed to jump into the sea ---desperately!!!!!!!
All that sand,... have to go swimming again. Sara went swimming at least five times a day. When she wasn't trying to sneak into the warm water, she cooked sandcakes or exerciced walking in the sand.
Great that there are IPhones nowadays. So we could catch one of the first steps Sara made at the end of July. (Even have a video, if I'll ever manage to upload it one day.)
I start talking a lot now: Papa - beste , Mama, Ball, heiß, na, net, ... every day I learn some new words... amazing.
A moment of history. Sara eats her first 羊肉出 (chinese lamp sticks). She loves "Bratwurst" too, but these lamp sticks are legendary!
Most of my days I spent swimming in the Lake of Constance or the Lake of Zürich. We did some hiking in the mountains too and I more and more tried to walk my self.
On July 15th Mum and I wanted to take the tram to the lake. When we went to the station there were hundreds of people getting off. So mum and I decided to follow the crowd to the Letzigrundstadion. It was a bit scary, though! Although I have to say the concert didn't bother me at all... Bon WHO??? Had a good sleep that night.
There it was, my first birthdayparty. I had the first piece of cake in my life. It tasted yummy!
