A respite from the cruelty of horizontal stripes! I actually skipped ahead a couple years, since the photo record is strangely quiet regarding my fourth year of existence. Perhaps my parents were more focused on verifying my genetic match with them to be bothered with pictures. Whatever the reason, here I am at age 5, in kindergarten. Still ridiculously cute, as you can see, but that will take a major turn in just a few short years.
