A SAD Goodbye



Annabelle was SO excited to meet Rapunzel! She has loved her ever since the movie came to theatres. When we were in line to meet Rapunzel, she was more than excited and waited about an hour to finally get her turn! Just prior to going inside, we also learned that FLYNN RIDER was there with Rapunzel! All of the sudden, Annabelle went into hysterics and wouldn't go in...which is CRAZY because she loves Flynn (who doesn't)! We were beside ourselves, trying to console her and figure out the problem. After a good 5-minute cry, she agreed to go in...only if Flynn would leave to go feed Maximus. So...sadly...Flynn left Rapunzel alone, and Annabelle went in. I guess it was too little too late however. Annabelle wouldn't even look at Rapunzel, let alone talk to her. She did, to her cedit, stop crying while she was in there. Josh was a champ though; he made sure to have Rapunzel sign Annabelle's book, and even posed for a picture so she would have the memory of meeting her. I know it sounds silly, but it was soooooooooo sad for all of us. Annabelle had been waiting so long to meet her, and for whatever reason (probably overtired and overwhelmed and overstimulated), she just couldn't handle the situation. Even as I look at this picture it makes me tear up and want to cry. I know, I know, I'm crazy. It was the one thing Annabelle was MOST excited about, and because we did this the last day, we didn't have the opportunity to give her another chance  :( Hopefully we'll be back real soon, while she's still little, to give her that 2nd chance!! Can't wait!
