Bambi

Dear Ava, Tonight we watched Bambi on Disney Junior. This was probably your 5th or 6th time watching it - we have it on DVD. Being the over-protective mom I tend to be at times I would always fast-forward through the sad/scary parts because I know how tender-hearted you are towards animals. Well, when it is on TV the DVD can't "accidentally" skip to the next scene like it usually does. You were not very happy to discover these new scenes. In turns you were yelling, crying, and often asking me tricky questions like "Why did they get all silly around the girl animals?" and "Do all animals get to go to Heaven or just the ones who have Jesus in their heart?" Sweetie, I wish I could answer that for you but I can't. I can only hope that there will be animals in heaven...there would have to be right?! As for why the boys got all silly around the girls...well that is something we can chat about when you are older - like 20, ok? For now just enjoy the movies for what they are and I promise I will keep skipping through the "bad" scenes for as long as you want me to - even when you are 20. Love, Mama
