My Grandson did not speak until a few months after his 2nd Birthday. He then started talking about Jesus. The family does not go to Church or have religious symbols around the house. We consider ourselves Spiritual but not any Organized Religion.
We asked him where he heard about Jesus? He said from the Little Boy in his room. His parents would hear him babbling in the middle of the night, and he would point and say "Boy".
It quieted down for a few months. He is now almost 3 and walking around the house holding a Crucifix and saying, "Jesus is hurting." "He needs a Doctor". WHERE did he get a Crucifix from to begin with?
Ok, I understand little children have imaginary friends, but those who talk about Jesus, let alone give them a Crucifix? He does not go to school, have neighborhood friends, religious babysitters or relatives. Where is he getting this from?
My daughter is starting to think this might be a Biblical Past Life Experience, or that the Boy in his room might be a Child Spirit. She is thinking about taking him to a Church to see what his reaction is.
My Maternal side of the family has "Abilities" going back to my Nana. Perhaps my Grandson is experiencing this at a very young age?
Mom, you need to get the facts straight before posting lol. He never said he heard it from a little boy. He just knows. And my MIL gave him the crucifix because he kept playing with it.

...and this, ladies and gentleman, is a perfect example of confirmation bias in this forum.
Mom creates (or, shall we say, interprets) a story that fits her preexisting beliefs or hypotheses for an issue, while giving disproportionately less consideration to alternative possibilities
When my oldest was about three, he and I saw some fighter planes flying over our yard, low. (We lived near the Air Force Academy back then.) He turns to me and says, "I flew in a plane when I was big. I wore brown clothes and it had shiny buttons. I didn't like to wrinkle it. I flew the planes a lot. I tried to make other planes fall. Then a plane flew behind me. It made me fall. And that's it." He said it very casually and then never mentioned it again. It was eerie because we didn't own a TV, he didn't get any media exposure - certainly no war movies. He wasn't obsessed with war or soldiers or any stereotypical little boy things like that. Heck, he's on the autism spectrum so he didn't really do a lot of imagination play as it is, never has. He only had access to picture books, and we didn't have any guests who might have talked about war or fighter jets or plane crashes or anything... So that was odd.
My second daughter was about a year old and had been with me at that point pretty much 24/7 since she was born - no grandparents, babysitters, daycares, etc. Again, no media that she had been exposed to. We were at a thrift store and she pointed out an old rotary phone. She got very excited and said phone, phone. I was surprised, seeing as how she'd only seen smartphones as "phones" before... and a rotary phone looks nothing like one. Either way, we go up to it and I hand it to her, and she picks up the receiver and starts dialing, perfectly, babbling into the phone. She even held it the right way (cord down) and everything. Odd.
My youngest is now about 18 months old. Ever since she was able to toddle, she often likes to dance when music comes on. She usually just spins in a slow circle. That's not the odd part, but rather that she always grabs the leg of her pajamas/pants and holds it up, as if she was holding up a long skirt to hold it out of the way. She also does this when she walks up the stairs. It doesn't make any sense really because her pants/jammies never even reach the ground, so are definitely not a tripping obstacle, and never have been. Yet she always does this; it's almost like muscle memory.
I'm not going to say those things prove the existence of a previous life or anything, but they were enough to give me pause for a few moments.

This was a serious inquiry by the OP. I would suggest you take your snarky jokes to another forum.

Yes, I believe Catlover is the sanguineous daughter of the OP.
I've got a niece who talked about when she was big and her parents were little. And I've heard of others who have memories that they didn't experience in their short lives here too. Very strange
For the love of God... take him to a neurologist. There's something going on there, and I don't think it's a past life.
Two years old is not out of the normal developmental range for a toddler beginning to talk. And it depends on what you mean by "talk". It's a normal distribution -- some are earlier, some are later -- if the child's going to a pediatrician, the pediatrician will know whether a referral to a specialist is needed.
