The world according to William, age 6

Transcript of a recent interview with William Schwind, aged 6 and a half. I plan to revisit this every now and then, if for no other reason than to confirm our lofty position as the 'best thing that ever happened to him'.

4. MY OTHER BEST FRIENDS: Emma, Leanza, Dylan, Trenton, Lucas, Faith, Jenni and Emily.

Just some of the critters William's shares his bed with every night, including Boo, in hand. 

OK, so he has a few stuffed animals. What of it???!
