El Babo spent two hours at daycare today: slowly, slowly, he's going to get used to it. Starting daycare for baby before I have scheduled obligations is totally the way to go.
Major excitement of the day was sending emails in Hebrew, and getting responses. Did the recipients be horrified at the not grammar words therein? Did they do like me and go, "What??? Oh. Second language. Gosh, I hope they pick up English soon." Or were they kind and less judgmental? Either way, it matters not: communication happened, even if I still have no idea how to say "looking forward" in Hebrew. I mean, I can translate it, especially with the help of a dictionary, but I don't know what connotation "mitzapah" has. I've seen it used both as "eagerly awaiting" and as more of foresight/planning thingy, and literally as gazing out from a high place to see what's coming from the distance. None of those uses work in "I'm looking forward to meeting with you." I'll learn, though, and meanwhile, my emails will be unpolished. But clear enough to get results, and that's what counts!
