OMgosh this thread is fascinating!! I've spent more than my allotted time for homeschooling preparations reading this thread lol
It made me think about a friend's nephew...they were so worried about him and thought he was crazy because he could see light and color around people. I thought it was so cool and I felt sad for this boy that no one else seemed to think this might be a good thing and not something "crazy"
My kids have done this kind of stuff too, mostly my oldest. Once we were on our way to my mom's house when my sister and her kids were visiting. He suddenly help up a finger and said "Aunt P cut herself"...I didn't think much of it until we got there and lo and behold, she'd been helping with dinner and had cut that same finger. Once he said "dad hurt his leg playing softball" and when dh got home, it had been around the same time he slid into base and hurt his hamstring. Just weird stuff like that. He also said there was a lady in red who gave him candy in his room and he'd "see" dh's dad who had passed away years ago.
I agree that kids are just more tuned into that kind of stuff...the only weird things I had happen were before I got pg (unplanned) with our last. Everyone was in bed and I was turning off lights downstairs and getting ready to go up. I passed the entrance to the living room on my way to the stairs and I heard clearly a little girl sigh heavily. It freaked me OUT and I ran upstairs and told dh (who said "well at least it wasn't scarier than a sighing little girl"
). A week or so later I heard a little girl say "mom?" and I was sure it was Maddie until I turned around and saw no one there...and Maddie was all the way upstairs with her friend playing. I was telling my sister about this a month or so later and dh heard me and asked what I was talking about because HE had the exact same experience in the basement doing laundry (little girl saying "dad?") then a couple months later we were pg. Of course I truly believe Lily is here for a higher purpose than even we can see yet. She's amazing in ways too numerous to count!!
Anyhoo lol sorry to get so long, I just find this all so interesting! Thanks to everyone who's shared, I loved reading it all!!
