I realized that this little gem had never been recorded on this blog, and I needed to rectify that pronto.
We had recently decided that Brian was ready for some chapter books. I decided that Charlotte's Web, being my favorite book from childhood, was a good place to start. I spent many weeks reading to him from the book, including a rather long hiatus mid book when he decided he just didn't want to hear about Charlotte, or Wilbur, or Fern, or Avery, or anyone of the barn animals.
We finally finished the book in December. We were at my parent's house for Christmas, and I remember pulling out the book, Brian in my lap, realizing that we were on the last chapter. I tried not to tear up at the ending, but alas, I've never been able to read the last line of the book without choking up just a little. This reading was no different.
I looked at Brian hopefully - did he enjoy it? Did it mean as much to him?
He was quiet for a moment, and then said "So what happened?"
Three little words that hit me right in the heart.
