...begun to make arrangements to have my 4 children baptised. It happened entirely by accident today. I wandered into church looking for a (as it turned out non-existant) coffee morning, met the priest and found myself talking about getting the children baptised. Didn't plan it at all but it has been hanging over me for nine years so it feels rather pleasing to be doing something about it at last! Has anyone else baptised their children late (ie later than normal in your church - I am RC and it is normal to baptise them as soon after birth as possible). The reason I ask is because ds1 is nearly nine and I wonder if I ought to let him make the decision for himself or should I jsut tell him it is going to be done? That feels a bit wierd to me but it was what the priest suggested (well, he would, wouldn't he? Would he?)
