My Birth
As with most ordinary people my birth was my first acquaintance with my parents and the rest of the world. I was born on March 30 1999 in a hospital in a town called Dordrecht, not far from where I live now. After a fast delivery of only 6 hours I came out very bad, I was completely purple and limp. Because of that I had to stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. Luckily my mama was allowed to stay with me in the hospital and papa also came to visit me several times a day. Now I will show you some photos from just after I was born.
Me attached to a number of hoses

With papa

Luckily all hoses, tubes and whatever more, were removed after a few days and after a week my parents were allowed to take me home. Since then I already growed a lot and experienced a lot of things. About that I will tell you later on. Now I will start to tell you something about my great friend
Winnie the Pooh
From my uncle Theo I got my first Pooh bear and since that time I
am completely crazy about this silly old bear and all of his friends Pigglet,
Tigger, Eyor, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga & Roo and of course Christopher Robin.
I also regularly watch 'Winnie the Pooh's most grand adventure'
en 'The Tigger movie' on DVD. When it is finished I immediately want
to see it again. This until my parents become crazy, but I can't be bothered
by that. I really enjoy it and I always burst into a laugh about all his
adventures. After I received my first Pooh bear a lot of other little friends
followed, look at my photo below. There you can see me (almost 2 years
old by then) with all of my little friends behind me. By the way, my first Pooh bear
(in the middle of the upper row) was stolen by some idiot out of our car in Reims (France) on May 5th 2003.
You really have no brains to steal a stuffed bear from a car (and my box of candies). Nothing else was
taken from the car, not even the radio!

On the photo you see me wearing my pyjamas with a lot of bears on it, this one I got when we were on holiday in Canada. That was my first real vacation, you can read more about it on this page.
Won a prize!
Joh! I have won a prize for the first time in my live. I participated in a coloring contest of a local supermarket. And I got a letter from the supermarket that I had won a prize and on Friday the 15th of November 2002 I could pick up my prize at the supermarket. I had the second prize, it turned out to be a very large frog. (This is a special frog that is quite known in the Netherlands). The frog was almost as large as me. Below you can see my drawing.

To the right you see me and my
frog prize. A frog almost as big as I am. The small frog on my lap, I already
owned, but at the supermarket they allowed me to change the small one for
another animal. I took the duck then (the yellow creature in my drawing
above).
Well, I think it is enough for now. In the future I will trust some more of my experiences in life to the internet. By the way, did you already have a look at my holiday page, or my school page. So, please come back once in a while and again have a look at
