My five year old son (my youngest) has never said anything about a previous life, but he does seem to take the idea of reincarnation for granted. While I have always been open to my children's comments on past lives (one of my daughters once said she had another mother who had "yellow hair like Ms. Laura" and my older son has made several comments about falling off a boat and drowning), we never talk about it as a something that definitely happens. By contrast, we are Roman Catholic (who quietly believe in reincarnation as a strong possibility).
Yet despite the Catholic background, my youngest son routinely speaks of God as a "she" and will say things like, "When you die, she makes you a baby again."
Most recently, I was reading or something and he came over and sat in my lap. Then he said, out of the blue, "When you get to be really, really old and die. And I get to be really old and die, and we get to be little babies again, I want to be in your family again." I was so touched. I told him I wanted to be in his family too, that I loved him.
I am fascinated at how he just seems to take it for granted that this is what happens when we die. I wonder how he "knows" this?

Obviously you're a great mom, and your son recognizes and appreciates that! :thumbsup: 
Funny, endearing little creatures!
