When kids play. . .

March 9th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

We have a security camera setup in Bridget’s room. Dave got it free from a guy at work.

It’s been great to see what she’s up to without having to go needlessly interrupt her play. And its been really fun to watch her as she works to fall asleep – she is all over the place. One day a few weeks ago, we decided to record the feed while she was playing with a couple of friends.

The idea being to show the evolution of her room from being relatively clean to being a great big mess. Its amazing the mess a bunch of two-year-olds can make.

This video represents about 2 hours of play. It was sped up 5000% to make a 2 minute video. Enjoy!

Note: there are a couple of spots in the video where it seems to jump ahead – these represent times when the camera battery died and when we had to switch tapes for the recording. Sorry for the gaps. Also, the second tape ended before we started the clean-up process so you’ll miss that part in the video.

    I loved that! Bridget must have the most fun closet on Earth…they kept going into it. 🙂
    My favorite parts were when the kids kept turning the lamp on & off, and when one of the friends (Josh?) dumped out the entire contents of the white drawer thingy. so hilarious! :mrgreen:

    Any ideas why I can only see an empty white box where the video should be? I would love to see it.

    Kellee – Do you have QuickTime installed? (http://apple.com/quicktime) That’s my best guess. I suppose I could upload to YouTube and link that way if I need to. Let me know if you still can’t get it to play. 🙂

    That was so fun to watch. Thanks! I loved how fast they were moving =)
