Bath-tizing, etc

I've mentioned before that my boys LOVE to play church. It is the highlight of their week and I now understand most kids fixations with "playing school". We don't have school, but we do have church.

It is so much fun to see what stands out to a four year old each week.

Last month it was this:
(Any guesses as to what he is doing?)

A couple of weeks ago it was this:

He proceeded to "bath-tize" anyone who was willing. David, one of the single guys at our church, was at our house that Sunday after the baptism and was one of the few chosen (willing) ones! As the days progressed he became much less particular with his wording and decided to skip the extensive testimonies as he preferred to keep control of the mic... This video was taken a couple of days later and he was just having fun making Rich repeat whatever nonsense he wanted to say.
On the baptism note, it is so interesting to see how each person's baptism effects me. This most recent one really touched me as a parent. I felt so unbelievably blessed to know that my young boys were watching those three young people profess their faith before the whole church!
And finally, I found him doing this last week.

I was at a loss to recognize the significance... He was pretending that the "doggy ears" were his headphones, since all of the guitar players always have large headphones on when playing... :)

  3. I love it! That is so funny! I especially love the "bathtizing" scene. Awesome.

    I didn't know it was parking attendents until I read the comments...quite the observer.

  5. It's amazing how children notice details. We don't really even see the headphones the worship team wears, but I think it's 'cuz we're not 4!
