I have two things to share:

My son (4) often says profound things just before falling off to sleep. For example, he has explained "reincarnation" to me without knowing or using the word.

My daughter (>2) cannot be fooled by slight-of-hand. She intuitively knows that something is being pulled over on her and always goes right for it even if it was done completely behind her back.

For me, some of the best things about parenting relate to the lack of filters children have. They sense things that most adults cannot. I enjoy seeing bits of that and fostering it, rather than suppressing it as my parents did.

Hey Iymlad! I don't want to bring up my old thread so I'll just pull this one aside for a minute. Whatever was there has left. Putting the water out was rather crazy that first night - but since I've had no "feeling," no intrusions in my sleep, and no nothing. Just thought you'd want to know.
