Okay - so I'm thinking ahead a little bit. My son is only 9 months old now.

I don't think our parish SRE (I'll always think of Sunday School as CCD in my head - that's what they used to call it, back in the day!) classes start much before kindergarten, unless I volunteer to do a preschool class or they've added it since I taught a grade school class of SRE it 2 years ago.

What types of things can you suggest I do at home to start out our Catholic education a little early? Just looking for fun things. I haven't yet checked our Catholic bookstores (30 - 60 minutes away, but there are 3 in cities nearby) for book yet. We have a kids' devotional book that's cool that he got for his Baptism. And I have children's Bible story books.

I plan to buy some kids' prayer books and will have some special prayers printed out, framed and hung around the house and will be teaching him these when he can talk (right now, I think the only thing he can verbally thank God for is "DOG", and that's not even on command yet). And we have a wall rosary for him.

I hope to use every day occurrences as Christian teaching moments, too. But any suggestions will be helpful!
