Happy 2nd Birthday to Sammy!!!!!
He celebrated his birthday by staying up until after midnight last night and until about 9:30 tonight. That's way past his 7 pm bedtime.
We're having his birthday party at his daycare aka "Maon" next Wednesday (on his JEWISH birthday). They gave us a list of things we need to provide. Here it is:
2 Chocolate "Ugot Habayit" made by Osem with birthday candles (Why do they specify chocolate?) Ugot Habayit are the long thin cakes.
4 big bags of Osem Bamba (ewwwww)
1 kilo Vaflim (aka wafers)
2 kilo baygala (aka pretzels)
2 big packages of "Tapuchips" (aka potato chips)
1 package of balloons
2 big packages of "Apropro" (I think those are like bugels)
and 30 surprises for all his little friends!!! (We bought mini xylophones in Maalot)
What happened to a cupcake for each kid? Doesn't that seem like a LOT of food for a bunch of little 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 year olds? 30 to be exact.....
For a country that is supposedly so healthy, my kids have never in their lives eaten this amount of junk!!
Enjoy your last day of Pesach for those in Chutz La'Aretz! We enjoyed our yummy pizza last night AND today!

I'm not sure why you thought it was healthy here... The first think parents usually encounter is the chocolate spread craze. I think Israelis are much less health-conscious diet-wise, but they get more exercise.

I feel like they eat a lot more fruits and veggies and have their big meal in the middle of the day instead of at night.

Btw- I did the shopping trip for the birthday party and was looking for 2 kilo of pretzels.... it seemed like a VERY large amount of pretzels so I called his daycare to ask and they said woops, we meant 2 packages, not 2 kilos. Well, I am glad I called to ask!

Eating the main meal for lunch developed because it was served at work, in school, etc. There also used to be a custom of "rest hour" / siesta between 2 & 4 PM, following lunch. There are still traces, but it's mostly gone.
