Catching up

The kids watched Home Alone and Leo was excited about the scene where Kevin sleds down the stairs and asked if he really did that. Worried that Leo might get the idea to try, we looked at that scene frame by frame, and I showed him how the cuts worked to create the illusion (and we even got a pretty clear view of the creepy looking stunt double). So, of course, then we went and made our own versions!
