Communion for Toddlers
Both girls took communion today (note for my fellow Southerners: in the Episcopal church, any baptized Christian, no matter what age, can take communion). Sometimes they don’t want to, so I always give them the option. Today is the first day that both opted to take it.
As the Father walked by, he says, "The Body of Christ" sees the girls and finishes with, "is large, so I’m breaking it in half." Each girl got half of a wafer. I got the giggles.

to clarify, the specific church that you go to allows all baptized christians, regardless of age, to receive holy communion - it’s congregation specific. In other parishes, they still have first communion classes and services for grade school aged children.
