2 thumbs & a dummy

As Catholics, it is our obligation and responsibility to ensure that our child is baptism and made part of the Catholic family as soon as possible. For us, I try to make sure that the kids are baptised by 6 weeks but more often than not it doesn’t always happen the way we want it. We were superbly late with Arianna who was baptised at nearly 8 months (Egad!!) and KR wasn’t too bad. She was baptised around 2+ months so that’s in keeping with time limit. The ILs and my Mum have been bugging us to have the baptism early perhaps due to habits as back in their days, baptism was done as soon as the baby was born due to the high rates of infant mortality. But that was then when healthcare wasn’t very good and people were relatively poor.

These days, we are much more blessed and I reckon can afford to take our time. FOr J-Roc, we’re hoping that my BIL (Ted’s elder brother) will agree to become the Godfather (happening title right?) and we’re making my sis the Godmother. They are both currently single hence no partner is available. And as a sign of thanks, we’re thinking of getting him a watch and sis suggested a Vacheron Constantin. I’m pretty sure he’ll like it coz he is an absolute sucker for watches and something as elegant as this will definitely be something he’ll like a lot!

Now all we need is a “YES” from him and we can start making the preps!!
