Emerson was finally baptized after mass on Saturday evening. It seems like we have been preparing for her baptism for months. We started talking about it when I was pregnant, and then it took months for us to find a church, and then we had a wait period, and then we had to wait until after Lent. It may have taken months, but Emerson was finally blessed.
It was definitely a long day for our girl. She had to sit through an hour mass before her baptism. She is typically quiet during church but yesterday she decided that it was time to chat and squeal. I think she was showing off for her grandparents. Luckily, she calmed down a little before her baptism. She actually enjoyed having water poured on her head....she probably thought she was going to be swimming in the pool of water. She also made everyone laugh when the priest touched her mouth and she tried to suck on his finger!
The whole thing was a little crazy because there were four children being baptized at the same time.
We had dinner at our house afterwards, and actually crammed about 13 people in our small place. It was a good day, but I'm glad it's over!
