We decided to have her baptised and because there was an adult being baptised by full immersion on the same evening, we decided to have her dunked as well. Fortunately, we were able to warm the water in the pool to some extent, although it took the verger several trips with water from the coffee urns to get it above freezing! She was asleep just before the dunking, so it was almost all over before she knew what had hit her. There was no screaming at all, much to everyone's surprise and delight.
Only one of her godparents could be there - the others were all the way back home in Pretoria, but were with us in spirit. Family was represented by Cathy and Ross (Graeme's sister and her fiance) and Ouma, but the event was videotaped by a friend so that family back home will at least be able to see things after the fact. Mommy and Daddy were so proud of their little angel who was such a good girl.
