Naming Ceremony - how to involve 2.7 DS?

7 replies

Basically the title says it all - we're having a simple back garden naming ceremony for ds2 - basically DH saying a few words, a toast and then a party, did the same for ds1 and it was lovely - it's a couple of days before his birthday so will have cake etc as well. We really want to involve DS1 whos 2.7 but haven't got a clue how to go about this .

Please someone help ....

Let him decorate the cake. He can really let rip on it. It will be charming and all the guests will praise him...

get him to give ds1 a gift as part of the ceremony?

How is he in front of people? Would he maybe sing a song ("Happy naming day to you" or something)?

dd1 held a special candle at dd2s christening - she was 22months old. I know yours isn't a religious ceremony but you could still have a candle!

Great ideas thanks - although not convinced he will sing in front of people - hard enough to get him to do it in front of me .... but if I WANTED him to be quiet of course he'd sing away ... prob the Thomas theme tune!

Our DD1 gave DD2 a bracelet and put it on her, and then gave her a kiss. She was 3.5. I don't think she could have managed much more tbh
