A Bug's World: Adventures in Christian School

Photo Albums

Our dear darling Bug started in K4 at a Christian private school in Late August. Due to her birthday being in late September she misses the cutoff for public school and is destined to always be one of the oldest in her class. So, we went the private school route with her to give her some greater classroom discipline. And she is doing very well with the structure and atmosphere. Granted, she comes home with some out there questions and some odd renditions of the bible stories. But it's all good. Really.

Conversational excerpts:

Jess: Mommy, can God see everything?

Me: Well, some people believe that God is everywhere and sees all that we do.

Jess: That's kind of creepy.

Me: Ummm...yeah.

Jess: Look mommy a cross.

Me: Yes it is.

Jess: Jesus was born there. On the cross.

Me: Okie Dokie. Let's talk about Mangers, shall we?

Jess: You know mommy, Isaac didn't really die. The angels saved him.

Me: Saved him from what?

Jess: From being sacrificed. His daddy didn't kill him, even though God told him to.

Me: Oh, Well that was good.

Jess: Mommy, we can't sacrifice Erica.

Me: Good to know. Why not?

Jess: Moooommmyyy...God doesn't want Erica. He wants a goat. A white goat.

Me: I'll get right on that.

So we are having lots of fun and an interesting education. As an extra bonus, even though she doesn't have to wear a uniform until K5, she does have to wear a dress or a skirt everyday. Just what every princess wants....an excuse for mommy to have find dresses.

Little miss "Bruiser", is now 21 months old and is getting a good set of chompers. She went thru a bit of a biting phase. Now she just sort of body checks the other kids. She has taken to wrestling with Jess. She usually wins just by jumping on top of her and sitting on her. There may be a good 3 years between them, but it's only a 9 pound body difference. But, the both laugh and have fun, so who am I to argue with that. And they dance. Lots of dancing, lots of singing. The 26 verses of Old MacDonald's farm have been revived as a method to keep the baby happy.

Love them Madly.
