The Truth about Heaven and Santa

Well Preschool C is at it again. Tonight he tells me, "Mom, you're gonna die one day." Then he hugs me and tells me he's really going to miss me when I go. Ok, besides really creeping me out, I'm wondering where all this is coming from. Then come the questions about if all people die, and Heaven. Preschool C says he's scared of Heaven, because he doesn't want to be alone. And also, he wants his favorite doll Tasha and his other doll Froggie. Oh, and mom, will there be water in Heaven? Cause I want to swim...How do my clothes get to heaven? Will I be able to take my swimming trunks, cause I want to swim....and so on and so forth. We did get to talk about how cool Heaven is, how that is Jesus' home. I explained how we will all meet again there, and how some people we love are already waiting there. Ok, I also jazzed it up a little by making it really really cool that we don't have to brush our teeth there. I think that we made some headway and maybe it will be the beginning of Preschool C's spiritual understanding.
Oh, and Santa. He's killing me with this Santa thing. I told him he gets to see Santa tomorrow and he rolled his eyes and said, "Oh, him. Santa." I'm like, "Ok, what's the deal with you and Santa?" And he says (hands raised in the air, indignant), "Last year, I told Santa I wanted a Barbie, and I got a Zu Zu Pet instead. Santa..."  He shakes his head. "I want to talk to him about that. And I'm asking for a Barbie again." Parental dilemma. He's a rough and tumble little guy. He just likes Barbies, too. To get or not to get? I'll fill you in next time!
PS-Baby T is still amusing us all with her big laughs. She is so fun!
