Party tricks

We've enjoyed teaching you little party tricks so that you can impress our friends and family with how clever you are. Acrobatics is an old favourite, as is getting you to point out Audrey Hepburn, Jim Carrey and Franka Potente on the film posters in our lounge.

More recently, you've been learning flags from a poster on the spare room door. So far you can identify Greece, Israel, United Kingdom, United States and France.

And now you can sing Frère Jacques. You like it so much, you've been known to conduct a group of family members to sing it in the round. You also think it's absolutely hilarious when we sing Frère Penny instead; then you tell us to sing it with Erika's name, then Uncle Dan's ("unkdan"), Norris, Alex, Andrew, Yaya, Granny, Mummy, Daddy, bath, pushchair, airplane (oh how you love airplanes!), and so on and so on until we can't bear it anymore and we have to try and distract you with something else...
