Last month I wrote a post about how my kids like to fall from a shelving unit onto our bed. I was able to catch them mid-fall with my Canon EOS-20, but my digital SLR does not have a video recorder function.
I’ve tried converting footage from our analog video camera to digital, but the converter I bought a few years ago doesn’t seem to work.
I finally solved our dilemma by getting a new camera for my wife on Mother’s Day. Don’t worry, she’s as happy about getting the Canon A470 as I am.
So now, the whole world can enjoy the spectacle of our rambunctious kids falling from the shelves in our bedroom.

That's great. You can still see how Lael maintains the straight posture. Seth has a little twist in his leap.
Enjoy these days! Time flies!
And why wasn't Anne getting a turn to jump off the shelves!!?

The problem with adults doing this stunt is that wall. Ouch!

That's hilarious. Lael doesn't so much fall as she throws herself down.
When my kids do stuff like that, I stress out. Not because I'm worried about them getting hurt, but because I'm worried about something breaking and costing money to replace.

I can relate. You have to see all the damage Lael has done to our apartment. Oy.
