Day 235 (silliness and fun)

I am that silly, but hopefully endearing, immigrant who acts things out. You see, I'm fairly certain that I just said the right words to express what I want to communicate, but I'm not 100% sure. However, with the addition of one silly sound effect and a broad gesture, I am completely sure that my message gets across. (The problem is that now you're all curious about the context, and the context involves a little too much information. Well, I shall assumed you asked! BSM's daycare provider was reminiscing about how scary his stomach bug was, and I agreed that his diapers were pretty explosive.)

Also, if you want to steal my ID, just mumble something about calling from somewhere and say, "Are you still looking for work?" I will sing like a bird. In this case, it was a lady from some government office. Or so she claimed.

Today, we got so much closer to being unpacked! I found and put away every single sheet (and did a lot of other unpacking in the process). Husbinator's been saying for a while that the boxes of framed pictures take up a lot of room, so we hung some of the pictures today, and it really does make a huge difference.

I've found most of what I've been looking for at this point in the unpacking process, which is pretty awesome. Among the things we found was one of those electronic play tables for young people. You know, they're short enough for a baby to reach the top, and they're covered in fun buttons and toys that make music or say things when you play with them. BSM loves it (and it's not nearly as irritating as I always insist "noisy toys" are).

The only issue with this play table is that it has a fake book in the middle, complete with a page that you can flip back and forth. BSM kept turning the page, then trying to turn the "other pages." These "other pages" are molded into the table, but don't actually turn, so BSM was getting quite frustrated. This is a shame, because he really does love the play table, so I worked with him, saying "All done," every time he turned the one real page and tried to turn the fake pages, and pretty soon he understood that there was one and only one page that would turn. Really cute.
