The videos are a Daniel show this time. If you remember all the videos you’ve seen of him not performing, this is a fraction of what you’re missing.
Billy Goats Gruff, Drawing and talking, Running to Daddy, Singing the Hot Dog Song, Mr. Affectionate, Typing at the keyboard, Hot Dog Pianist.
For the intrepid, we have Pinworms in Poo. Click at your own risk.

Here are a few more videos from the last month.
The kids helping with rearranging the apartment, jumping onto mattresses (again), Daniel blowing bubbles, Joseph and Vivienne making cupcakes, all three jumping off the stool, Joseph’s marble track, Vivienne giving Joseph a ride, a Spring picnic, Joseph on the trampoline, Daniel in the tunnel, all three on the merry-go-round, Daniel not performing, the kids playing with a new mattress.
Baby Pool IV
I’m not quite as early in setting this up as last time, or the time before that, but still well ahead of the initial pool. Little One is due June 15, but Janet’s feeling big already and despite her pick is hoping for an early arrival. Here’s how to play: leave a comment with your prediction of Little One’s birth date, time, size, weight, and gender, and whoever gets closest on average to the truth wins a sweet prize.
Rules for determining the grand winner:
1. If you get the gender right, you receive 0 points; if you get it wrong, or don’t state it, -5 points.
2. For every day you are off, -1 point. Not stating day or time scores -5 points.
3. For every centimeter you are off, -1 point. Not stating anything scores -5 points.
4. For every 200 grams you are off, -1 point. Not stating anything scores -5 points.
5. The person with the highest total wins.
6. Entering after Little One’s arrival voids the entry.
Go to digitaldutch for a useful unit conversion link, or have a look at the Google spreadsheet I made for converting weights!
I guess having three kids running around makes for fewer photographs, as I don’t have a current picture of Janet’s baby belly. She looks a lot like the photo in the third baby pool post, except perhaps a little bigger. We are, of course, two weeks later.
Historical data, for those who need it for their pick: First baby 6 days early, 51cm, 3590g; second baby four days late, 53cm, 3840g; third baby eight days late, 53cm, 4300g.
Good luck!

Only a few, probably because Easter (and the kids) kept us busy.
Here’s Joseph reading from Peter Rabbit, Joseph reciting a poem, Daniel saying “Up up up” (but not “Down down down”), Vivienne tracing numbers, Joseph reading to his siblings, and Joseph using manipulatives.
For die-hards, here’s the uncut version of Janet and me singing “Jesus ist erstanden!”

We’re busy and not taking lots of videos. Here’s Daniel not performing for the camera (again), Daniel saying his cousin’s name, Daniel performing until he spots the stealth camera, and Joseph and Vivienne reciting “The Vulture.”
Wondering what that Hot Dog Dance is?

It appears we’ve been slacking in the video department. Not in posting – that has been going well enough – but in recording. Two weeks, two videos – but then, that’ll make finding good material for their weddings easier.
Daniel washing potatoes and Vivienne being her graceful self.

Only two this week: Daniel reading toddler style and not showing off his sticker-peeling skills.
