Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee...

Yes yes yes, the joys of being a parent know no bounds.... Our Little One has brought us so much joy and we do Adore him oh so very much! Our Little One has recently acquired a new sense of assertiveness about his needs, wants and demands... and whenever any one of the needs, wants, demands are not met... Hear the SIRENS wail across the rooms and hallways... woe betide the parents (us) who then have to carry Our Little One and try to pacify him to where tears still hang on his cheeks (rosy already but made redder from the wailing) but he had broken into a once again content smile... Once again, calm returns to the household and we (as parents) breathe a sigh of relief that Our Little One is once again smiling....(we are such suckers).... Anyway Our Little One has recently acquired some new possessions (a term that he learned from the recent Christmas) and semblance of skills and is all ready to to face 2009! Happy New Year Everybody!

I now baptize you as...

That's right, Our Little One has been officially baptized. It was a joyous occasion with Grandpa performing the baptism. It was also a perfect baptism in that Our Little One did not fuss one bit. No fussing, sniffing, crying, nothing at all. Everyone in church was amazed and impressed. The last part of the baptism entailed Our Little One being carried by Grandpa around the church. It was fantastic! Everyone in the congregation wanted to touch Our Little One, hold his hand, smile at him. Short of signing autographs, I would say Our Little One performed wonderfully! Don't believe me... see for yourself!
