I was probably around the age of 1 or 1 1/2. (my sister thinks I was younger tho)
I woke up in my crib, and no one was around to come get me. I cried for a bit, hoping my mom would come get me, but she didnt. So, I started climbing over the railing.
I was hanging there, holding onto the rails and trying to climb down when my sister (2 yrs older than me) came into the room. I was just starting to fall when she caught me. I whacked the back of my head on her mouth. I dont know if I knocked her front teeth out, but we do have some pictures of her missing her front teeth at around the age she would have been then.
I do have the very clear memory of looking back at her just before I fell and I can remember feeling her catching me and the incredible pain in the back of my head from hitting it on her mouth.
Another early memory...probably the first memory that I have where I know what I was actively thinking. (probably 2 1/2 or 3yrs old) I was in the living room, standing on my head in one of the armchairs. The memory of it feels kind of like that's when my concious and logical thinking must have just kicked in, since the memory is so clear and I can remember going out the front door after that, and looking at the bright red and yellow tulips that grew in our front yard. So, it must have been early spring.
I can also remember dropping a baby bottle behind the toilet in our basement. The toilet was on a platform next to the furnace. (no bathroom sink there, just a toilet...wasnt even a door there) My baby bottle landed under the furnace. I think my parents found the bottle several days later...still half full of milk. (Ewwww!)
