My son got christened today as well. He is 7 years old and decided he wanted to hold her (a 4 year old temperamental psycho)knowing it was feeding day. She came out nice and easy then tagged him right on the inside of the elbow. I never heard him scream with such a high voice...but then play it off because he had a friend over.
Good luck getting it to get started. It can be quite the challenge sometimes with them.
