   Flying on my tricycle, chasing an eagle. I still see it as clear as day. I have no idea how old I was when I had this dream. I guess old enough to have a tricycle.
   
   Neuirologically, when the brain reorganizes after birth, we forget everything up to around 2.5 years. That's when I remember standing on the front seat of a truck, riding with my dad.

      That's very cool indeed and who wouldn't want to catch an eagle?! I know the first thing I remember is when I turned one and I attempted to walk and fell flat on my face. All I could see was everyone rushing to me and going " Oh my Gosh!"

   My earliest memory was when my little sister was born. No not what she looked like or the hospital- but how my grandmother spoiled me with candy (and presents) for two weeks while I stayed with her.

      Awwww, this is too cute.  How did you handle the change afterwards?

      Rather well according to my parents. Sadly I don't remember much more from that time period.

   I have several memories of being potty trained.  I'm not sure why those early memories stick out the most, but maybe it's because I fought a lot and got rewarded when I gave in and used the pot.

   Somehow, I'm able to remember my first Christmas in 1986. My older brother was pushing me down the hallway in a laundry basket like a train and was even making the noises. I remember it vividly, I was having the time of my little life and had my hands up like I was on a roller coaster, I was going "chu chu" along with him and laughing.

   Driving down the hill to our new house when I was 3 years old. I remember being in the car with my dad driving. But don't remember anything before that or after that.
