We took Isaac to the Rite II service @ St. Ned's, the one with music, yesterday and he had a great time. He recently started "singing" along with music, so he tried out a few songs, and I bounced him up in the air during the high-energy offertory. He didn't nap in the morning, so by the end of the service he was starting to be a bit ragged. Dennis took him out in the garden during communion, where one of them tried to eat a handful of ivy off the side of the building, and got very upset when this great pleasure was denied. The break from the over-stimulation was good, though, and he mellowed out and allowed himself to be adored after the service. We hung out for a bit and I talked socks with all my knittas.
It felt good to be back. It's a very different experience, worshiping with a baby, and I know that Dennis and I never really connected with the service in the way that we used to, but still, sometimes just showing up is the blessing. Maybe the rest will come later, when we stop being hyper-aware of being the people with the baby-who-could-go-off-at-any-moment. At least it's a noisier service than the early one, so I didn't feel as self-conscious about Isaac's commentary.
I burned up all of my slowly-returning energy on Saturday hitting garage sales and Goodwill with Ryan and Leigh, and then lunch and people-watching at the farmer's market downtown. Mostly it was really stroller-watching; I think I like our stroller, but I'm always checking out everyone else's storage capacity, and looking at the pretty Bugaboos. Not my thing, but they are fun to look at. My big score of the day was a black leather jacket from Macy's at Goodwill. It was marked $60, but they were having a $3 sale on all clothing, no exceptions, so I got it for $3. SCORE.
