three minutes with Olive

CHILDHOOD, FAMILY, MEMORY KEEPING

[vimeo 57716796 w=500 h=281]

 

While I have millions (I’m sure) of pictures of my children and even several letters and stories about them, I have very little video — very little of their perspectives, like/dislikes, voices. So this year, I’m finally doing what I’ve meant to do for years: interviewing my children. Each month I’ll sit down with Liam, Burke, Blythe, or Olive and prompt them with a series of unrehearsed questions appropriate for them, ideally capturing a little bit of their side of the story. I’ll post them here because I think it helps fill in the gaps and scope of our lives, and at the very least, it might make you laugh. I hope you enjoy!

  1. Noodle chomping!! A favorite at our house as well. I love doing interviews with the kids :) such a fun thing to capture. She is precious.

    1. I started this video spontaneously, but when she did so well, I decided to keep it. Noodle-chomping was the cream on top! Glad it made you laugh.

  2. Love that girl…and these videos will be a treasure! Thanks for sharing.
