my theory

Noah's been having kind of a rough time for the last few weeks. I'm sure he's teething. But I also wanted to write down some of my feelings on this subject. I have always felt like the reason that babies and old people had such a hard time communicating is because they are getting closer to the veil. If they could talk, they would tell us too much about it all :). I am a firm believer that you don't go through the veil all at once. That it kind of happens slowly. I guess I feel that way with older people because I've seen how they get just before death, and with babies because I can't imagine Heavenly Father sending these babies to earth without anything familiar. Seems like they would have to have a little piece of "there" with them. I have always felt like my babies were aware of angels and could see things that I cannot. I think the angels would be here to help ease them into the things of earthlife. This is of course all my own thoughts. Not doctrine. I don't even know if ANY of it is true, but I really do feel like for me, and my kids, it is. So when my kids go through this stage where they are teething, and learning to communicate, and struggling (around 1 1/2, 2ish) that that is when they are finishing coming through the veil. And losing touch with the other side. I think that would be something that would make me sad, and I think it would be a little confusing. That is what I think is going on with Noah lately. Everytime I hear him whine, or get fussy, that's all I can think about. And it's been really good because it helps me to be more sensitive and loving rather than just getting frustrated with it. I feel more inclined to just wrap my arms around him and cuddle with him. I like that I feel like I know what is going on with him....whether it is true or not.... and I'm really glad to have something to help me with his hard time. He is such a sweet little guy. Just so mellow and so laid back. If I had a dollar for everytime I heard someone tell me how calm and quiet he is, I would have a LOT of dollars! He really is just content with life and with the things that he does. He doesn't have the short attention span of most 1 1/2 year olds I know do. It's just interesting to have such a sweet little boy in our house and to be able to feel the Spirit through him. I'm so grateful for the chance to be a mom, and be able to see these hard times that my kids go through and watch how our Heavenly Father comforts my children and so often through me. I need to be better at being in touch with the spirit and being in tune with what it is Heavenly Father needs me to do with these little sweethearts that I have been so blessed with. I hope that I can make the move from His presence, to earth, just a little more comfortable, and a little less strange for Noah and hopefully for this next one as well. I'm sure that with all of this, that they still have that gungho attitude that we are so used to hearing about that the Spirits who come to earth have, but I think that with that little human body comes all the human, natural, emotions, and I hope that with any frustration or discouragement that my kids feel, that they will be able to feel my love too.
