Went to my niece's christening! Doesn't that sound grown-up? My brother and his lovely wife have the most beautiful baby, and today was her christening. They'd got her an amazing christening gown, a tremendous confection of white frills and lace and pearls and ribbons, and the most darling little bonnet. And she was ever so good, and didn't cry once.
Afterwards there was a little party, and the lovely baby sat in the middle of the floor with her skirts spread about her, looking like a little princess and surrounded by a crowd of worshippers. She smiles and laughs at the least thing, and she likes shiny things. I had a Creme Egg in my pocket (as you do), and it's shiny, so I took it out and rolled it for her, and she grabbed it and stuffed it in her mouth - little baby chugging a whole Creme Egg in one with the wrapper still on - hilarious. Obviously I didn't let her chug it really. Why waste a Creme Egg on a baby, right? Anyway, utterly lovely, I'm glad I happened to be home the weekend it happened.
I didn't get to be a godmother (there were seven!), but perhaps that's not surprising :)
