It was my baptism day today! A lot of people came to celebrate this important event in my life. My Godparents are Uncle Dwayne and Aunt Kristin. However, Aunt Kristin couldn’t come up to Oregon because she had to watch her two boys Hudson and Jackson, so Jacque stood in her place for the event. I was so excited and was having a really good day! When we went to the church, I realized it was really hot. In fact, I don’t think the church had ever been that hot EVER! I was pretty relaxed in my car seat during most of the Mass, and even slept through Abuelo’s readings (which was quite a feat because he really did an amazing job, so I hear)…
Suddenly it was my time! I was taken out of my car seat and that didn’t make me happy at all. My parents, Uncle Dwayne, and Jacque all took me up to the front of the church, and I lost it. I screamed and cried the entire time! Father Nathan was a good sport about it all, even through all of my crying and the sweltering heat!
Then Father Nathan put water on my head! On such a hot day, some might think this would be refreshing, However, I only cried more!
Suddenly, my dad lifted me in the air and everyone clapped. For ME! I stopped crying to take in the moment as I realized I had been baptized- what a wonderful thing!
Them the applause stopped. Back to crying! Well, my mom and dad took me outside after that and I calmed down and was actually fairly happy for the rest of the day.
