Seth got baptized two weekends ago, on 1/23. Todd and I met with our priest, along with Hillary and Cory, Seth’s godparents, for three weeks prior to his baptism. We shared our hopes and dreams for Seth’s spiritual life, as well as our own, and the meaning of the sacrament of baptism. We started prepping Seth a few days in advance, talking about how Fr Steve would pour water over his head, and by the Saturday before the baptism was scheduled, he wanted to be baptized “right now!” The day of, lots of our family came, and Seth took the whole thing in stride. But then of course, the Sunday after, he wanted to be baptized again! “Pour…water…head! Oil…head!” He has also been wanting to read from his new Bible constantly, and reminds us to say grace at meals. Become like little children, indeed!
