walking down the aisle

Yesterday we went to the Grace church. It was really cold yesterday 20 deg F (must be around minus 10 degree centrigrade) C cannot recognize me when I have my cooling glass + head band (for the chilly weather) on. She looks strangely at me, until I life the sunglasses to show her my eyes. They she becomes very fascinated with the head band / hood, sunglasses, etc.
C was unusually quiet and well behaved. She didnt want to go down the aisle, didnt have any offering envelopes to throw around, didnt start crying, etc.
At the end of the service, we thought of letting C walk, rather than carrying her. C does not like to hold hands yet, and wants to break away running. But we did hold her hand firmly. The sight of a small girl walking step by step, in her nice traditional indian dress, seemed to be too cute for these American ladies to handle, and so they started remarking "ooh" and "aah" and started saying "so cute" etc. C made more than 10 people to notice and comment on her before she walked out of the hall. Once outside the hall, she started wiggling off from our grip and started running towards the stairs, etc. At that point we had to carry her back to the car.
