On the way home from school yesterday, S firmly declared that she was going to skip the age of five because she doesn't want to go to school all day. (We've been having conversations about how once she's in kindergarten, she will probably be in school all day, which is a major change to the Tuesday/Thursday mornings that she's used to.) And if that wasn't enough, she added, "I'm also skipping eight! I'm skipping five and I'm skipping eight."
The reason she doesn't want to turn eight is because she's quite adamant that she doesn't want to be baptized. We've tried to tell her many times before that being baptized (or "bathtized" as she calls it) is nothing to be afraid of. I reminded her that her oldest cousins have been baptized, and she then asked, "Oh. Did they die then??"
Clearly, we have some work to do.
