Thanks for the links! On his web site, look at some of the videos from 2005 when he was only a year old- he looks like he's playing air tablas! :)

As far as why some children remember and others don't, I wonder if it's something biological. One function of a normal brain is 'forgetting.' Think about it- tons of information goes through our brain and it'd be confusing if our brains didn't sort out what we need to remember. Perhaps in these...

I googled it also and found a lot of references to drinking from a well with a dipper. This is from a K-12 website: "the Big Dipper is a group of very bright stars that resemble the cup and long handle of a water dipper that was used to get water from a bucket or a well. We do not commonly use...

I find it really hard to imagine how something like the horrific kidnappings and killings in Idaho could play into all this. That poor little girl has to spend the rest of her life dealing with this things no one ever should. I don't understand what lesson she could be learning that would be...

Hello, I've been reading this forum for a few months but this is my first post. I wanted to say that I really enjoyed the ABC Primetime story on James, and I really appreciate Andrea's followup. I also really appreciate everyone else's stories about the things they hear children say. I...
