<<<<When Casey was 2, we once had an interesting
conversation. She was pretty verbal early on, so you
could actually have conversations with her at 2.
Anyway, we were driving in the car once and she
started telling me about what life was like when she
was "a little girl". She told me that when she
was a little girl everything was white (a snowy
place?), and there were no trees around. She described
the setting a little more and then told me
about her mother (!).

She told me her mother died when she was a little girl
and she was very sad about it. It has always made me
wonder if she had a fabulously developed imagination,
or if whe was recalling a past life, or (I hope not)
seeing into the future (we now live where there aren't
many trees and it's
white for 6 months out of the year.) No matter what,
it was an odd conversation to have with a 2 year old.
She doesn't remember any of it now. She's 7.

Wow! This sounds familiar. Tamzin (also 7) would tell
me in great detail about her "mummy" she used to have.
She said that she had brown skin and they first lived
in a hot place and then they went on a long trip to a
cold place (she said she was always cold after that).
She was 2 and a few months the first time she
mentioned this. She gave details about things that she
couldn't possibly know about (that's what convinced me
that it wasn't purely imaginary). She says she never
grew up (I assume that means she died as a child -
maybe from the cold?). She still remembers her 'family
from before', but she rarely talks about them anymore.
Also the only place in the world that she really wants
to go to is Africa, always has been.

Meghan :-)
