Coloring on the window

Over the holidays, Zoe spent a lot of time with her cousins. Since she’s an only child and the only girl in the group, it’s pretty interesting to watch how differently she reacts to situations. In general, she’s delighted to see the boys’ high energy and rough-housing, and she likes to join in. Unfortunately, she hasn’t had to get as tough as Milo or Theo, and inevitably, it ends in tears. But once she gets calmed down, she never hesitates to dive back into the fray.

This particular photo was taken on a day when just Milo and Zoe were hanging out. It’s interesting how the dynamic shifts when it’s just the two of them. They’re the same age, and they tend to play at about the same speed. They had these crayons designed for kids to color on the windows, and they were happily scribbling away for about 20 minutes together.


“This has been a long and difficult shoot, fraught by many problems. But the one thing that kept me going, through it all, was the certain knowledge that one day I would drive out the gate of Pinewood and never come back, and that you sorry bastards would still be here.”
James Cameron, on the set of Aliens

Zoe: Mama have some tea.
Annie: Thank you! What kind is it?
Zoe: Ice cream and chocolate!


“Therein lies the best career advice I could possibly dispense: just DO things. Chase after the things that interest you and make you happy. Stop acting like you have a set path, because you don’t. No one does. You shouldn’t be trying to check off the boxes of life; they aren’t real and they were created by other people, not you. There is no explicit path I’m following, and I’m not walking in anyone else’s footsteps. I’m making it up as I go.”
