Today Mommy Gets to be a Pig

We spent a good part of our day today acting out a scene that I've never seen from an older cartoon version of Charlotte's Web. Olivia likes to pretend that she's Fern and I'm Wilbur (I know, lucky me. I get to be the pig). Anyway, it's a scene where Fern is putting Wilbur to bed with a "nice, cozy blanket." Olivia has obviously watched this scene very carefully because she has every step memorized, including the words of the song that Fern sings, in addition to the parts that she hums. It's pretty funny, but I have to say that after pretending to be a sleeping pig 15 or more times I was pretty relieved when Olivia decided that it was time for Sophia to be Wilbur. Sophia was surprisingly cooperative. She did lie down on the special blue blanket, but she didn't stay there long enough for Olivia to say all her lines. It didn't take long for Olivia to get frustrated with her sister's lack of dedication to acting out the full scene, and she was back to asking me to act like a pig and lie down and go to sleep.
