Today we had Andrew baptized at Holy Rosary. Lauren got to come up to the front of the church with us and hold the candle. The priest asked each family in turn to name their child in front of the congregation. We said Andrew's name and Lauren immediately turned to Jeremy and said, "Wait! You have two kids! You forgot one!" He tried to quiet her, but she kept saying it louder and louder. She finally settled down, just short of going down and telling the priest herself.
She also got upset at the end of the service, after we had lit the candle as part of the baptism. She asked to blow it out, but in our haste to get back to our seats, Jeremy ended up blowing it out himself. She LOST it, doing the whole arching and crying thing down the aisle. She spent most of the rest of the service underneath the pew, crying to herself.
You take the spotlight off her for one second and see what happens!
Honestly, though, she's been fantastic about sharing everything with her brother. She has surpassed my expectations. I think today we just didn't quite prepare her for what would happen and she was surprised. She's the most loving, sweetest big sister ever, and Andrew is a very lucky little boy!
