I am not absolutely sure what my "first" memory is, but I can think of 2 that are pretty early on in my life.
1.) I remember standing on a little step stool so that I could see into the window at the hospital nursery when my sister was born. I was 4. I don't remember much else (I don't even remember my mom being pregnant). But, I do remember looking in that window and watching her. I thought she was tiny, and I was excited to be a big sister. I don't remember my parents bringing her home either.
2.) I also remember when I decided it would be a great idea to invite the little girl from next door over one morning to play. It was so early that my parents weren't even awake yet. We played Barbies, and I enjoyed giving my Barbies my sister's teething medicine to treat their various "ailments". I also remember getting in trouble for being loud and having a guest over so early without permission... :( Oh well, I was trying to make my own fun. Oh, and putting teething medicine on my Barbies didn't score real high up with my parents either.....

Your first one reminded me of when my sister was born. I was almost 4 & also don't remember my mom being pregnant. My earliest memory of that time is being in the hospital waiting room w/ my grandpa & going to get drink of water from a fountain.
ReplyDeleteOh - I LOVE #1!! What a sweet memory. I think #2 is so funny! I think ambesol for Barbie and a friend over (did her mom know where she was? LOL) is a fabulous way to spend a Saturday. Mattel really missed out making "Tendermouth Barbie" or "Teething Barbie" for a fast moneymaker!
