I'm fairly fluent in Portuguese, but as I'm raising my 12-month old son, I've begun to realize that my "baby vocabulary" is lacking. For example, I don't know how to play "Peekaboo" in Portuguese. I've settled on saying "Cadê o Kiernan?? Aí está!" but that doesn't feel quite right.

So this has gotten me thinking about baby games in other languages. Peekaboo is the only game that I can think of at the moment, but for curiosity's sake, how do you say/play "peekaboo" in other languages? I'm specifically looking for Portuguese, but I'm interested in other languages too. Also, what other baby games do you know in other languages?

ETA: I suppose there's also the song "Trot, trot, trot to Boston Town, see little baby falling down!" I know there won't be a direct translation of the song, but how does one play a bouncing-on-knee game in Portuguese or other languages?

I'm totally nerding out over the horses in this documentary.

Lovers you consume, my friend, as others their wine.

The receptionists at my vet are so sweet and so understanding when I call for the third time to say I can't remember when Franny's spay appointment is.

Unknown situations make me uncomfortable.

If you wanna run cool, you gotta run on heavy, heavy fuel.

I'm going to do the 500-words-at-the-beginning-of-every-hour thing today, because if I can get ahead a little that would be seriously nice.

Oh, Neopets Day. Why hast thou forsaken me?

So, at exactly 12:00 am NST, I decided to do my dailies. I then realized that after over a month of diligently visiting the Planet 51 sponsor activity, I missed day 42. Yesterday. If I had gone just a MINUTE earlier, I would have gotten it no problem. Now I'm screwed for the jackpot. D:

AND THEN! I went to Toys R Us and purchased the three pack of Royal neopets plushies. I got books out of all three. I decided to REALLY QUICKLY OMG read them to my Gelert so I wouldn't be tempted to sell them. And then I donated one... SO YAY PERSON WHO GOT A BOOK WORTH 80k! I BET YOU'RE HAPPY!

It's been such a bad week, but I can't help but find this funny. In the insane I'm-going-to-snap-and-stab-something way. xD But it's better than being pissed.

Has anybody else experienced this amazing it's-one-of-those-days-on-Neopets phenomenon? Or even better, has anything really GOOD happened to you lately? Tell me about those, too!

Heard of Lady Ga-Ga? Well prepare to meet Lady Nyeh-Nyeh.

Dear Smidgie and Nox,

Yes, I will be sure to post that you have new pictures in my blog to our friends at Note-To-Cat. You can stop trying to post the news yourself. My poor keyboard has enough problems from the rabbit without you joining in.
