After the service, we had a small party at Mimi and Fa's house. The kids had a blast and were exhausted afterwards. In fact, they ended up going to sleep at 6:30 that night (which was fantastic for us!).Thought I would share a little baptism story with everyone. Last night, while I was giving Evan a bath, Maddie was assisting me. She kept splashing water on him, and every time I would look at her and ask her to "please stop", she would just pat me on the shoulder and say "It's otay, Mama" and continue her little fun. As I have learned with many situations in my few years of being a parent - it is usually wise to not let them see you laugh. So, I just smiled and went about my business.
After bath time, I called Mimi and told her the bath story. She had an enlightening thought. She asked what I was telling Maddie when Evan was being baptized. And I just laughed. Maddie was pretty worried about some strange man dropping water on her little brother, so I telling her that it "was all right, it's okay". So, it turns out she was just mimicking the weekend events. Guess she is going to baptize Evan every night at bath time now.
