Sign of the Cross

We have been working with Erin on the sign of the cross since she was old enough to sit in a highchair.  We practice it at every meal when we say grace.  This little practice always brings a smile to her face as she claps when she is finished.  She also practices the sign of the cross whenever we go to church and pass by the holy water font. Slowly but surely she is getting all the little motions in all the right order.  Today we found her practicing all on her own.  In fact, she was not only practicing on herself, but also on her little brother Seamus.  She practiced so much that they were both pretty soaking wet by the time we tracked down the little holy souls. This sounds all wonderful and great, doesn't it?  Well, it is, all except for one little detail.....she used toilet water.  Ewwww.

I now have two sqeaky-clean holy souls who have just come out of the tub : )
