Today, I spoke with the person in charge of job assignments on the kibbutz. We had a very productive 5-10 minute conversation, and he'll try to find me something either on the kibbutz or in the surrounding area. Advantage of kibbutz is short-term fitting-in, advantage of surrounding area is long-term employment/employment advancement. Ideally, he'll find me something relevant on kibbutz, but I'll take what comes.
Also today, there were peaches at the weekly produce giveaway fest. Yum yum yum. I ate one, and it was crunchier than most apples I've eaten lately. Which is not to say that I didn't enjoy the peach--I did, muchly--I'm just thinking that I should make cobbler next week with juicy peaches instead of this week with hard peaches. So hard to wait!
Additionally, today (are we sensing a theme, yet?) I saw BSM demonstrate another gesture. In addition to waving, clapping, pointing, slapping nearby surfaces, and giving five, he can also put his hands on top of his head. (There's a classic Hebrew song that involves clapping hands and putting them on your head, and one of his teachers has taught him to copy her on this one. Super cute! For the record, the song is as follows:
מחה מחה כפיים/ נוסעים לירושלים/ידיים על הראש/אחת שתיים שלוש
clap, clap your hands/we're going to Jerusalem/hands on your head/one, two, three)
I also used the booster seat we bought in Yerushalyim for the second or third time today. (The theme has been established! All paragraphs must conform!) What a difference! It can actually pleasant to feed solids to this child. With all of the chasing and getting food all over me, I had forgotten that was a possibility.
