Fears of a four year old

    Saturday Pay asked what happened when we die. This has been her topic of choice lately, and so I told her that when we die we go to heaven. Well, her daddy was here and trying to help he said that our souls go to heaven and that our bodies stay here. This, was beyond tramatizing for her. She got so upset, tears flowing as we tried to explain what it would be like. Bless her heart, she was so upset. So in the end she said, "when we die and go to heaven, God puts us back together. And Miss Becca and Miss Shannon (her daycare teachers) will be there. And we will have bikes and look like this right?" Finally reassured she went to bed and has not asked about it again. It was so sad to see her so upset, but I am glad that she finally calmed down, and that she was asking questions like this. Looks like I may have a little philosopher on my hands.
