The Wisdom of Six-Year Olds

“If something feels like it’s closing, you should just say, ‘OK, I’m fine.’ You should just let it go and think of … you just think of something else.” -Asa Baker-Rouse, age 6

As the wife of a film editor, I’m often thinking of fun projects Ken and I can work on together as Bee gets older. (The family that films together stays together, yes?)

Kids are magical, aren’t they?

p.s. If you love watching inspiring videos of kids+families, might I suggest Gabby’s Olive Us series or Small Fry’s daily mamahood feature? And, of course, Kid President. Happy viewing!
