The first day I watched was the day they brought the baby home. I am enclosing a picture my cousin took of Ben Holding the movie baby. It was a real baby. The mother and father as well as a nurse were present and there were twins. When I got there they were filming the babies in a car seat in the back of the car ( a black BMW with NY tags)

I was surprised at all the work that the “background” people do. They made up the house to look older then it is by giving it dirty marks on it and put 2 fake Dormers (sp) on the top. They even kicked out a few spindles on the railing. The people that live on the block say that they are renting the house from a woman that was selling it ( someone famous used to live there along time ago but I forget who) They have a Madonna in the front that they put away every night in a shed out back. They planted bushes in front of the house and when I saw the baby scene, there were yellow flowers on them.

When I got there I found out that I had just missed Ben and decided to stay and watch because I have always wanted to see behind the “wizards curtain” at how they make movies. I was surprised at how many people it took and how much detail they put into it.

Then they were finished that scene and went into a scene where they were moving into the house. Ben and George Carlins doubles where there. People put suitcases in the car ( just for the shot they never even touched them) then they had a rental truck full of empty boxes with a crib and a couch in it. We watched the doubles move the crib out of the truck and up the stairs to the house a few times. Then all of a sudden George shows up. I don’t think he’s allowed to pose for pictures because I heard him tell someone only while he’s walking.

Then Ben was there (man they travel in a kick ass SUV) then Jen showed up a bit later to watch and then she left again (she wasn’t in the scene) they moved the crib out then the couch and that was it. Jen left quickly before they were done the shoot then Ben walks over and starts signing autographs and doing pictures He’s so sweet, he was picking up all the little kids and holding them.
