Today we celebrated Evan's first penance at church. He looked so handsome and so much like Dave dressed in his dark pants and pinstripe oxford. Despite the fact that I see him every day, I am sometimes taken by surprise by how much he has grown up and is maturing.
When it was his turn for confession we watched as he sat there for a while. I mean a long while. Probably only a couple of minutes but other kids breezed in and breezed out pretty quick. Dave and I sat watching from the pew, wondering if he was suddenly reluctant to share any of his misgivings with the priest or if he was dishing a whole months worth. We asked him about it on the car ride home and apparently he just got a little nervous. Understandably so. So Evan told us the priest just told him to be really nice to his Mom all day. Sage advice if ever I heard any :)
