Xavier TV
I did mention in the last post we’d started Xavier helping out around the house, right? Here’s the confirming video: .
Also, Frank initially uploaded the whole tape’s worth of film by mistake instead of isolating the vacuuming sequence. We’ll probably take it offline in a while to get back some Picasaweb space, but for dedicated Xavier fans, here’s a quarter of an hour enjoyment. Warning: there’s an overly long sequence of Xavier in diaper “dancing” and other endless minutes of Xavier’s face looking at himself through the camera’s LCD screen flipped toward him, while I just won’t stop saying “allô” in the background in the hopes of getting him to say it (you know how it is: we tape 5 minutes to get 15 seconds of what we’re trying to capture, always believing we’ll get a better shot, until we give up and that’s when he does his thing again).

Ha! He certainly remains focused on the task at hand. He wasn’t going to let that rocking ottoman stop him.
My mother taught my brother and me how to do house chores at an early age, but this is ridiculous!
I remember the days when I couldn’t videotape Ben doing anything at all because he was constantly approaching the camera wanting me to flip the LCD around and give him a view. In fact, one of those vids is online, in the Videos section of my homepage (what a funny-sounding term that is now). It’s called Ben Names His Face Parts.
