Charlotte's Web

So tonight we had frozen pizza and ice cream for dinner. Then we watched Charlotte's Web on the big TV upstairs. Thanks to my wonderful friend who dropped the movie off for us to borrow. Thus saving me from purchasing the only somewhat kid friendly pay per view movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I would be explaining why at our house we don't say "kick butt" for the next month.
Okay so back to my original thought of Charlotte's Web. I totally forgot about Charlotte dying at the end. Derek was sitting on the couch with me when she is explaining how she is dying to Wilbur. I look over at him to find huge tears welled up in his eyes and his little chin beginning to quiver. When he glanced over at me he quickly blinked them away and choked back any more that were on the way.
He has been so emotional lately. He bawled his eyes out in the car when he and Clint dropped me off at the airport for Santa Fe. He told Clint that he was sad that our family was going to be in all different places. I have to say all this weepiness tugs at my heart because he is not the emotional sensitive one. Does this mean he might lighten up on the stubbornness? I can dream can't I?
