Here we are again with videos of our little ones.\u00c2\u00a0 First we have videos<\/a> of Vivienne<\/a> lying on Bappe’s knee.\u00c2\u00a0 (Two videos of an unhappy Vivienne were censored, despite arguably being more action-packed.)<\/p>\n

On we go to a few toys Joseph enjoys: his alphabet stamps<\/a>, his Pimsleur DVDs<\/a>, and his memory game<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 When it comes to cleaning them up<\/a>, counting<\/a> is often a good way to make the chore enjoyable for Joseph.\u00c2\u00a0 (It also seems that videos with “counting” and “kids” generate Duggar video links in the sidebar.)<\/p>\n

Joseph still really likes books, and has begun reading them to himself.\u00c2\u00a0 Grossmutti’s gift, “Ten out of bed<\/a>,” is a favorite, as is “Roxaboxen<\/a>” (Grandma?) and “Moo, Baa, La La La<\/a>” (Aunt S.).<\/p>\n

Vivienne is only just starting to enjoy toys.\u00c2\u00a0 Her focus is clearly still on getting to know her abilities, such as grabbing things<\/a> or making sounds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Joseph, when he’s not into action sports<\/a>, still has a penchant for counting, be it in German<\/a> or English<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 Of course, he often gets distracted<\/a> by other games<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 It doesn’t really matter whether it’s a one<\/a> or two twos<\/a>, any number can go missing.\u00c2\u00a0 But it’s not just numbers; he also really enjoys Grandma’s word cards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He often helps Mommy, be it with gardening<\/a> or with preparing salad<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 And he’s as thorough with that as he is when spinning trivets<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 He’s expanded his repertoire to include a synchrospin<\/a> (difficulty 3.2).\u00c2\u00a0 If he keeps going on like that, he’ll be ready for the 2028 Olympics.\u00c2\u00a0 But we’re proudest of him when he looks out for his little sister<\/a>, which he does with purpose and dedication.\u00c2\u00a0 (In that video, he says “Chopf,” Swiss German for head, as “Fopp,” which Janet first takes to mean “forehead.”\u00c2\u00a0 It illustrates a difficulty we often face when he says something: which language is he approximating?)<\/p>\n

We started with videos of Vivienne, and end with videos of Vivienne, where we try with moderate success<\/a> to get her to laugh<\/a> her adorable little laugh.<\/p>\n

Let me know what you think of the amount of videos I’m posting.\u00c2\u00a0 Too many?\u00c2\u00a0 Too few?\u00c2\u00a0 Just right?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
