Caitlyn's Reconciliation Journey

Caitlyn will go through her Act of Reconciliation this year, June 27th, to be more accurate. It's a big step for her journey into the Catholic faith. Her school, St. Emilie's a Catholic school, so she gets her Catholic education during school instead of having to attend Catechism after school like the kids from public schools. This is one big do she will remember because she was baptised when she was hardly 3 months old back in Singapore.

I attended a meeting with her at school and we had so much fun. Her homework? Make a bumper sticker and something out of playdough. She is supposed to complete the sentence "God is like a ..........". I bought the cream of tartar yesterday.. got to get the playdough cooking soon. Anyway, today, is the start of her NAPLAN (nation wide exams), so praying that she does well. Aussie kids, especially in Lower and middle schools don't get many exams here, compared to Malaysia and Singapore. Despite the exams, nothing stops for them. She still will have her recorder, guitar and swimming lessons, library period, play, play and more play. I tell you, she's one cool cucumber. Only the mother is the one nervous like anything. Can't help it.... mother's a worry wart.
