Holy Elvis

It's taken me all week to get this story posted but I still wanted to share.

I should start with that Ethan's first stuffed animal to get attached to was a little dog with a bell in it that Wade picked out before Ethan was born.  When Ethan started to talk, he named the stuffed dog Bella just like our real dog.  Last summer while at Graceland, Ethan talked Wade into buying him a stuffed hound dog which we named Elvis.  These were Ethan's two favorite "friends" until he moved into his big bed when Ducky (a huge stuffed white duck that I received as a shower gift) became the new favorite. 

Last Sunday, Ethan baptized Elvis in the holy water fountain.  He asked to take Ducky to church but Ducky isn't allowed out of the house so I told him he could take Elvis instead.  I carried Ethan into church and he asked to put his finger in the holy water but I told him we would on the way out because mass was about to start.  After mass was over, I carried him over to the holy water but he hesitated putting his finger in it for some reason.  I reached for his hand to try to get him to put it in the water and in the process Elvis fell out of his other hand into the holy water fountain.  I picked Elvis up and a day later he was dry and back to normal and we had a good story to tell Grandma Carol and Grandpa Charlie when we talked to them on Skype later in the day.
