Davis' First Communion

On May 1st, my sweet boy got dressed in a suit and put on his dress shoes....

Spent some time with his Mommy who walked each step with him to prepare for this day which included retreats, books and even a Seder Meal.


Made it to the church at 11:30 to get a professional picture taken and to reserve a row for his family. He decided that "He didn't want any more pictures taken".


At 1pm this special mass began. He sang the songs while sitting with the rest of his class. He carried wine cups up to the alter while his Mommy shed tears of gratitude and pride.


When it was his time, Davis shoved the host into his mouth, made a very ugly face when he drank the wine and then tried to go back to his seat going the wrong way. Again, his Mommy shed more silent tears.


Thankfully he decided we could take pictures after of him with his family and on the alter.

After the service, we had a celebration at our house. Everyone seemed to have a good time. He was thrilled to get so much money (which is burning a hole in his pocket).


Davis, I know you don't realize the gift you have been given, but your Mommy does and is so proud of you for sticking with it. I am enjoying having you join us each Sunday for our Church meal.
