3 year old drowned before/asked how got this body

[acttuff]

My three year old son had always been afraid of water he could not stand in-even if I was holding him. We would get very upset if his brother or *sister (her "memories" recorded as Baby in Scottland from 1/22)put their head underwater. A few months ago, we were out of town for a funeral. The hotel we stayed at had a pool. I stepped outside the outer door to let the dog out, my son tried to lock me out and ran out the door to the hall. I found him outside the glass enclosure of the pool just staring at it. We returned to the reception following the funeral. He climbed in his dad's lap and said "Remember when I drowned before and went up to god" (we don't go to church). Then he looked at me and said "and YOU didn't save me!" He was angry and hostile toward me for a couple of days, but that next morning he was able to swim out to the middle of the pool with his water wings.

A few nights ago I was tucking him in to bed. He rubbed my face with his hand and said "I missed you". I said "well, I missed you too." He then said "I'm glad you're my mommy again. But, how did I get into this body?". I wasn't sure how to answer that one. . .

Oh that's kinda sweet! It's nice that he chose you again even if he felt that you were responsible in some way for his death... it probably shows he doesn't really blame you ... that's made my day sunny now

Hi acttuff, when your son asks you how he got into his body, tell him the truth. He left the old one, went to the other side, or Spirit World, or whatever you call it, and chose to reincarnate into the body that was in your uterus. That body is his now. My son asked that question when he was 3 and 4, and I told him just that. He said "ok, I understand that," and that answered his question. He doesn't ask anymore, because he knows now. Blessings
