In the Night Garden... So Bittersweet!

by Julia 11/30/2008 7:26:25 PM

There is a cartoon on Treehouse channel called In the Night Garden - it's a very calming cartoon with soft music and meant to be watched before bedtime. But the thing is they only show it at 7:30 PM once a week. Well, Natasha watched part of it about 2 weeks ago and really loved it, so Matthew came up with the idea to record one of the episodes so that the girls can watch it before bedtime on his computer screen.

ANYHOW... the cartoon has this ending song... it's a really really calming/sweet/almost sad type of tune as the characters go to bed... Well, Natasha watches the whole cartoon just fine, but the moment the song comes on, her face completely changes... it starts with her getting really sad looking... then her lip kind of curls up... then her eyes fill with tears... and a moment later she's just outright sobbing!!!

It never fails. EACH and EVERY time. She watched the cartoon maybe 5 times and sobbed each and every ending. She watched it again today; she was actually begging us all day to please please put it on and finally before bedtime, we did... Well, before the song came on, Matthew and I were like, "well maybe this time she won't cry... maybe she got used to it".

But nope! She was sobbing again at the end. I had to turn away because I was laughing so hard... it's so funny and so sad! I think she's gonna be one of those people who cry at the movies :D
