AMEN!
Well, not really. But that IS a funny idea!
Our “infant” Sadie, a 5-month-old Brittany, took to the water with grace and good cheer, which is normally not the case when a human infant is dropped in the church dunk tank (or sprinkled) in front of a few hundred strangers!
Being her first time in the pool, it was a baptism, if in the secular, not spiritual sense. Beyond a mere style statement, the life jacket is to preserve her mortal being, not her immortal soul.
Maybe if we’d blessed the water first?
