maybe we should have named him Judah
Peter did NOT have a good first reaction to church yesterday, despite all of our best interventions - being changed, well fed, and having the @ pacifier in place.
In fact, his reaction was so adverse we were forced to bail out of church just after the Gloria. (Perhaps Peter was upset that it was spoken, not sung?)
My suspicion is that he didn't like the loudness of the voices of Fr. Oscar and Deacon Thierry, although he was able to stroll around the St. Joseph festival without incident earlier in the day.
Kevin suggested that Peter's staging his own protest: if we've gone ahead and circumcised him, he'd like to be raised as one of God's Chosen People. Perhaps we should have named him Peter Abraham, like we'd thought about in September.
So, instead of church, we walked around the downtown Mountain View street fair, and then picked up two medium cheese pizzas for dinner. Their cost? $32. Suddenly, we had grumpy Papa Bear and Baby Bear.
