This weekend, my mom was watching Charlotte's Web with Anna while we worked on finished her office remodel (which we're finally done with - YEAH!). Anna has seen it before - no biggie. But this time, she was actually following the story. When it got to the part where Wilbur the pig has to go sleep in the barn instead of with Charlotte, Anna got inconsolable. She cried, hiccuped, had crocodile tears and was just distraught. My mom brought her out to us and she kept saying "Pig! Pig!" in this teary, hiccupy voice. It was so sad. I tried to go watch that part with her so that she could see he was OK and he had friends in the barn and he was happy, but she was having none of it. We all felt so bad. That whole day, she stayed a little emotional, and at bedtime, she woudn't let Curtis or I out of her sight. Poor baby! We finally gave up and getting her to sleep and let her sit up and watch TV with us, and she ran out to her toy box and got her Baby Einstein flash card of the pig and kept saying, "Pig!". I think she may be scarred for life. So funny to see her 'get' some of these things now. She has such a tender heart. But as my dad said jokingly, 'better not try Old Yeller just yet'.
