In play therapy on Monday E got to see lots of photos of a developing fetus. He even got to draw the sperms and egg in 'mommies tummy' He had fun with it all, even though he did not really engage with the woman at all. Using all kinds of tricks to not look at her. He only answered her when she asked him a direct question and did not offer any information spontaneously.
But the following did come out:
The doctor took me out of mommies tummy - now this we have talked about at home before, what followed after was amazing.
Then daddy came with me and he cared for me......Yes, daddy did, he went up with you to NICU, because you were very sick and mommy was very sick, so mommy could not care for you. We never told him that he was taken into NICU after his birth, or that Phil was there with him.
And then I came back to my mommy and I slept in her neck. Accurate again, he slept on my chest with his head in my neck that first night in the hospital and many nights after that when he was a newborn baby.
He seems to be in a really good space right now, very happy and engaging with everyone at home and at school. The child psychologist thought him a lovely, intelligent little boy that is very independant for his age.

wow, is all I can say! What an intuitive little boy you have. I'm glad he already seems to be making some progress. You are a great momma! (And to the post above, ouch, that would absolutely break my heart to hear those words given the circumstances, but he is only 4 and is learning how to push buttons. Hugs!)
