Has your child "been here before"?

My 3 year old has told me repeatedly that when he was here before, I was a man and a police officer. He has told me about the angel that stands in the doorway and tells him goodnight. He even pointed out the old home of a friend of my mother's. She moved from that house 8 years ago and that was his first time in the neighborhood. There aren't even any pictures that he could have referenced. I believe he has been here before.

Has your child "been here" before?

Answers:
I think both of my girls are old souls. When the oldest was born my mom looked at her and said, She has been here before and then little things she would do as a newborn would confuse me b/c it was almost like she was looking past me and wanting me to know something. My 3 year old when she was a newborn would look up and the ceiling fan and then her hands and it more than just "discovering her hands" would look like she was really in deep thought. Neither of them has said anything like rememeber when....to me yet but my oldest announced when she was 2 that she was going to be a performer, sing, dance and act like she did before....but the poor child doesnt' have those kind of talents that I can see yet. My youngest is a care giver and always telling me about all her "babies" and how she has to take care of them and then rub my belly and tell me she will take care of me too.. (tubal ligation no more babies this way) So I wonder about all her "babies" and what that means. Sometimes I ask and all she will say is you will know mommy I will tell you later.

There are many stories of this. Check out a book called "There is a River"
