[R] Best prediction to use to use for basic problem?

I have a rather basic set of data. It is simply a variable that can be 0, 1 or 2 and its value over a series of time t0 - t9 like so:
y: 1 1 2 0 1 2 2 1 2 1
x: t0 t1 t2 t3 t4 t5 t6 t7 t8 t9
I need to predict what the value of y will be at t10 through t13.
As you can see its rather basic. I am rather new to solving these types of problems so I am looking for some
good straight forward things to try.
My research into this (google, wiki's, etc) leads me to believe that perhaps logistic regression would be good, since
I am predicting a categorical variable (0, 1, 2).
I don't have much data for the formula to "learn" from, as I only have 10 time slots and I need to predict the next 4.
Is logistic regression a good candidate or should I be looking at perhaps something else?
