Magic

A few months ago, Edie put some small toys in a cup, tapped a stick on it, pulled them back out, and said, "ta da!" Tamsen got a video of it and sent it to my mom, thinking it was cute. We didn't know it at the time, but it started a parade of magic trick videos going back and forth.

My parents have been having a great time recording silly magic tricks and sending them to us for the kids to watch. Here's an example of one they called "Magic Marty."


Marty really likes this one. Edie likes it okay, but since she doesn't appear in this one, she usually skips over it in favor of something that features her a little more prominently, like this one.


She adores this one, enough so that a few days ago, she assembled a few cups (or things she was calling cups, anyway), lined them up on the floor, and did her best to reproduce the video. I sent that to my parents, which triggered another avalanche of magic videos. Here's a video of Edie watching one of them.




You may be wondering where Marty is in all of this. Fear not! The boy is still around, cramming as much in his mouth as he possibly can. It's a lot!
