Today was a pretty exciting day for our little one starting off with his first Mass at St. Eugene’s in Wendell in the morning. He was very well behaved (better than some of the children including the cute girl who almost swiped his bottle from our pew before Daddy saved it and the burp cloth!). He even got a blessing from Father Mel when Mommy and Grammy went forward for Communion. Father Mel is a real neat guy and remembered Nicholas from their last meeting at Adrienne and Fitz’s (Grammy’s neighbours) 50th anniversary dinner a while ago.
After a wonderful brunch at The Blue Rooster in Wendell (if you’ve never been there and you’re in the area, the food is magificent and the owner is very accessible…well worth the stop!), we headed home for an afternoon of napping (and then some updates to the BLOG that were long overdue…sorry about that true believers!).
Snack time was rice cereal and an extra treat…butternut squash! I think it’s safe to say he didn’t mind the new stuff at all and downed half a jar before we knew it. That prompted us to re-evaluate our vegetable supply and go get a few more jars. I think it’s safe to say the boy isn’t likely to be missing too many meals here…nor does he seem to be terribly fussy about what he eats…he just wants it yesterday and in mass quantities! OK, he wasn’t thrilled with the oatmeal made with less-than-warm milk but hey, you make do with what you’ve got, eh?
