videos guaranteed to make you smile

So, I need to start off saying that my next post will be about how great of siblings Matthew and Natalie are. He is so gentle with her and she loves being with him. But, I need to get these videos posted. They are too good not to share. I'm having difficulty uploading the individual videos, but for some reason one long combined video uploaded. Oh well, the separate videos are better and edited, but combination is less than three minutes, so it's not that bad. The first two segments are of Matthew. I don't think that I need to introduce it any further, except to say that I am not able to participate in this activity because my husband affectionately calls me "Gonzo." You'll understand, just watch the clip...The third segment is of the kids getting into the camera bag/chords. The fourth segment is of Natalie discovering herself on video. She walked over to me and flipped the view-lens over by herself and then watched the "bayba". When you don't see her face, she was giving herself kisses, with tongue. The last segment is of Matthew "bonking" Natalie with a ball. His father taught him how to do this and his mother is not so innocent either. I came home from classes yesterday and my sitter told me that he had done this and she scolded him and put him in a chair for time-out. Oops. We do it to Matthew, too, but we use the big green ball on him. We like to think it helps them work on their balance and coordination. So that's it. Enjoy!

I can see Matthew on the playground in a couple years throwing balls at kids heads :-) and telling his teacher, "my mom lets me do it to my sister".
Rob and I were cracking up!

The funniest part of that to me is watching Natalie and that she does not flinch! Even when she gets hit in the head! That's either great focus or a built up resistence to her older brother:) Love it!

Oh my gosh...forget smiling! I'm laughing so hard I'm choking. I love how she doesn't even seem to notice that she's being whacked in the head with a large ball. My favorite part of all is how she rocks back on her little butt when hit. I'm going to have to watch it again for another good laugh. :)

What a tough girl! She doesn't even flinch. That's too hilarious. The funniest thing to me, though, is hearing Rebecca laughing behind the camera. What a concerned mother. :)
