theherd123 Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Well the title says it all really! Isabelle has been comandeered! I went to a rememberance day service at a new local church today and a lady approached me to speak about the Nativity Story - you guessed it - Isabelle is going to be Jesus! I hope she doesnt trump in the manger - that is her new trick! All she is required to do is lie in the manger and Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and kings will sing 'Away in a manger' to her - whats the guess she cries all the way through?! So at only 5 weeks old she has been 'spotted'! You never know what the future holds - Jesus this Christmas and Hollywood next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 How lovely. My YS was Jesus in his sister's nativity play at school. She was Mary....and she volunteered him. He was born mid October and so was only about 6 weeks old on his big day. He was dropped on his head during the dress rehearsal.......which explains a lot really.

Guest Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I think that's wonderful! What a very proud mother you will be. They could have asked you and DH to play Mary and Joseph. You must get in some straw and make sure she has got used to lying in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to get some pictures to embarrass her with in years to come! Ginette - the straw isnt a problem! Isabelle can sleep in the nesting box for a few nights to help get her in role!

Snowy Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Awww bless her - it's an occupational hazard of being an autumn baby! Both of mine (born Sept & Oct) were baby Jesus at their first Christmas nativities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theherd123 Posted November 9, 2008 Author Share Posted November 9, 2008 Aaawww how sweet! Let's hope the fame doesn't go to her head. I will try and keep her grounded but i know she will insist on certain things in her dressing room - milk, clean nappies and a favourite toy!

Shirl Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 I hope she fairs better than the one at E's nursery nativity. Baby Jesus was knocked out of the crib and rolled across the floor. He was then picked up plonked in the manager and the straw thrown on top of him. Fortunately Jesus was a doll Can't wait to see the pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 My son was comandeered as Jesus when he was a baby too. He was born late September, so wasn't too old. It was a "come and dress up as part of the nativity and join in with the tableau" type of Christmas eve service at my mum's church. Luckily OH was also asked to be Joseph, so I didn't have any worries of my baby being dropped. I think Joseph had rather more of a paternal role than men normally used to have in those days! Unfortunately we didn't know it was going to happen , and , as it was before the days of phones on cameras, we didnt' get a photo so make sure you do. When the elders were discussing later if my son could be baptised in the church. someone said that he was Jesus so they were duty bound!

chickencam Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 How exciting for you all What a lovely way to celebrate her first Christmas. My YD was Mary in her playgroup nativity when she was 3 we have video footage but no photos she was so sweet but she did bounce baby Jesus about on his head and bury him in the straw (a doll fortunately) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
