Today at church the United Methodist Women honored all of the babies born in the church in 2009. If you remember back, oh say to Henderson's baptism, we don't have the best track record with our baby in church. In case you somehow managed to miss that post back in December, let me refresh...baby. screaming. screaming. screaming.
I started having flashbacks as Stephen and I went into the church. It was PACKED. Today was children's Sunday which includes a number of singing performances, hand bells, etc. Soooo, every parent, grandparent, aunt, uncle, and cousin was in the congregation.
A few weeks ago, a lady in our church called to tell us about this whole thing. She assured me that the babies would be honored "first thing" in the service, so imagine my surprise when we were still sitting in the pew at 11:38! Thank goodness our baby is really into lights right now because our church is packed with about 10 huge chandeliers that had him mesmerized. (He just really wanted someone to turn them on and off...thanks Nannie!)
All of the 2009 babies were so sweet and none shed a tear. Is it bad that I secretly hoped that one of them would have a humongous melt-down, so my child wasn't the one known as the "baby who screamed the entire church service?" Oh well, at least he had this 2nd chance and came through like a CHAMP! In honor of his big accomplishment, Stephen and I let him try his first bites of ice cream. He, of course, LOVED it!
