This couple of weeks have been preoccupied with everything that has to do with school. I can't believe how much time I have spent on worrying about "Kindergarten" this week. I know I shouldn't be but then at the same time I can't help it. I am just not too familiar with so many things here specially when it comes to school and stuff related to it but then I feel like I should at least do my best to find a good school for Joshua.
We have already decided long time ago that we will send him to a Catholic school however our problem is getting him into one. Although we are registered with the parish we are barely making it to their cutoff which is at least 5 years of membership but still even if we did, we are still third in the priority list. To make matters worse, there are already 21 occupied seats out of the 30 spots and so there are only 9 spots available for all of us hopefuls. We have another option but then still we are looking at the same issues and so at this point, I am just really being hopeful. The public school is another option but really I want to send him to a Catholic school for mainly faith reasons.
Already now, I am faced with his everyday philosophical questions and can barely answer those. Like, the other day he said... Mama, God made us all and He made us all beautiful, then he followed it up with, Mama, who made God? Who is his mom and dad? Where does he live? and all of those happy stuff... and so again here I am not knowing how to approach his questions and how to answer them. It bothers me and it makes me sad that all of these times I thought I had a pretty good handle of my understanding of my religion but when it comes to a four year old, I am dumfounded!

If it helps, we all went to Kindergarten at Public school and had Sunday school at church. You give him the best faith education every day. Good luck tho with God's mama & papa ;-)

Oh come on, no suggestions of any sort? I need more inputs,since he does bombard me with questions like that.I told him Jesus lives up in Heaven with God,then he said "but Mama how can they live up there, what comes up comes down because the big magnet in the center of the earth pulls them down and they can't live in the outerspace because there is no air out there...hmmmm...
