Here are the March videos, with a bit of delay. Joseph still is the more thankful subject for videos, but I’m sure Vivienne will catch up in a few months, or weeks even.
Joseph counting his numbers. He’s a bit sloppy in the interest of speed, but the numbers are there – if you have ears to hear.
One of Joseph’s first encounters with Grandma’s word cards.
Life with a big brother.
Joseph counts his fingers. There are ten.
Joseph counts Bappe’s fingers. There are also ten!
Joseph likes to zip around with the Bilibo – until he spots the camera.
The tempo tap button is great!
Tummy time for Vivienne, who rolls over at the end.
Bappe playing with Vivienne.
Joseph loves his owls!
A few hitches and distractions, but it’s the entire alphabet!
Useful vocabulary skills. It will be even better once he learns how to use one!
This is how “seven” is said in different languages.
Joseph declaims, then plays with his tube. (And I do like grape nuts.)
How to read yourself to sleep.
Alphabet all by himself.
Fun with the Bilibo.
Intentional oopsies.
Joseph reads “Polar Bear” with Bappe.
Joseph tries to entertain Vivienne.
Bappe teaches bad sign language.
Playing with the colored blocks.
Vivienne entertained.
They are growing up so fast. It will be nice to see you this summer!

Thank you! Joseph may be the more entertaining at the moment, but Vivienne has changed the most since I saw her. Wow.
I can see I need to make him a more random presentation of the owls. He knows which one is next!
In parenting, I’m constantly being taught to listen better and more intelligently. In the first video Joseph says “ing, ing, ing” and at the time I thought maybe he was saying “Vivienne”, but now I know he was saying “English.” He often asks me to count in English or German and sometimes makes me switch half-way through. But when I focus on getting him to perform for me (i.e. count for the camera) my ears turn off! It makes me wonder how much intelligent communication our children give us that we miss. It must be frustrating, but they keep on trying!
