We talked about the sacrament of baptism today in celebration of the Easter season. I was about 75 percent convinced Thomas would end up baptized by the end of the day, "for realsies!" as Peter would say. Luckily, Thomas slept through our reenactment and will be able to celebrate his first sacrament in a bit holier of circumstances. (And not with our leftover cleaning-up-paint-covered-hands water.)
