So last weekend we went to a baptism and took Maddy with us and I quickly learned that there's a reason we take our kids to church in "Sunday clothes" as she was not very reverent in her p.j.'s!! Anyway, on Sunday when they were confirming the lady I tried my best to explain to my 2 year old what was happening. During sacrament she informed me she was not going to get baptized as it was too scary. I told her she has a long time to think about it and it really isn't that scary by the time you turn 8. Then she told me it was too scary to turn 8 as well. I was amazed at how much she took in from the baptism as I really didn't think she was even paying attention. Then this week she has brought up the Holy Ghost many times as well as getting baptized. The other day she was in the bathroom going about her business when she called me in to see the "women getting "baptized" in the sand.".. I had no clue what she was talking about but quickly realized that the ad for a vacation on a sandy beach with the man dipping his wife was actually my 2 year olds vision of a baptism. I cannot believe the things she absorbs, it's scary at times.
