Today, munchkin attended his first formal engagement. You see, today T was going to be a godfather again. So we all got dressed in our Sunday best and headed for Oxford. Munchkin held Ah Ee's hand all the way there.
We were a bit nervous for a couple of reasons. Munchkin had never been in a church before nor had he been surrounded by hundreds of people nor had he had a mustard mess...for the past 5 days. Our primary concern was the potential explosiveness of the stored mustard.
But, Munchkin lasted through the hour and a bit long service, jigging through all the hymns and keeping very quiet through the prayers, message and the christening itself. He made some new friends then proceeded to sleep all the way back to T's new godson's house (holding Ah Ee's hand of course!). He then slept while we had lunch and woke to watch the other children play.
By noon, we were concerned as the explosion had yet to happen. Still, we had a lovely afternoon in the sunshine and headed home midafternoon. Munchkin (creature of habit) slept all the way home holding his Ah Ee's hand. It was a good trip and it didn't take us long to get home. which is a good thing because Munchkin was entertaining us with melodic botty burps (not good in an enclosed space due to the pong that came with it!) We had been home half and hour when T shouted "It's happening!" and dashed upstairs with Munchkin. Mustard Mess Mayhem had been contained till we got home.
What a considerate munchkin he is! Thank goodness for the little things in life (although T will tell you that there was nothing little about the explosion!)
