I was three and my family lived in Vancouver that year - I remember a LOT - exploring, walking around, picking flowers (from neighbours' yards without their permission but I didn't know I had to ask!), swinging in the playground, sitting on the sidewalk stomping on ants, etc. Back then little kids were seen all over the place without any parental supervision! I remember always just coming and going whenever I wanted and it was all good.

I was two and it was my mother's wedding day. I remember playing with my flower petals and sprinkling them down the aisle - after the wedding was over.

My first memory was a trauma, so that's probably why it's so vivid. I feel down the stairs when I was 2 on Christmas Eve. I don't remember falling down the stairs, but I do remember my mother taking me to the hospital. I also remember the doctor was tall and thin with dark hair and that he checked my reflex's. I also remember my mother letting me sit in the front seat.

I remember cry it out in my crib when I was around 2. I just remember the crib and crying and crying. My mom finally held me awhile and then she was picking me up and putting me back down. I remember details about that house so my mom confirmed it. Around the sam time, I remember them leaving me in a daycare at night for a special event where there were many cribs for kids in a gymnasium and crying and they didn't pick us up til really late. I think we may have been the last ones there.

I had found at we were going to move and I didn't want to so I I remember the old house and neighborhood, and the other one from 2 is when my grandpa died and being at my grandparents house and not knowing why everyone was crying and just sitting on the steps waiting for my grandpa to come back since everyone else was sad. My sister was born shortly after that and I have no memories from that.

Riding in my mom's lap in the front seat while she tried to hold my pinky toe on with brown paper towels, then being held down on an exam table at the hospital by my parents and a nurse because I kept trying to kick the Dr trying to sew my toe back on. I was 18 months old and had fallen into a broken box fan? Little unclear about how, and my parents didn't see it happen, just the aftermath.

The next memory (which probably would have been the first) was getting a Big Sister doll for my 3rd birthday.

I have a vague memory of sitting in the living room at some family friend's house playing with little care bear dolls. This would have been before I was 5.

I remember visiting my dad in the Hospital and asking him to draw me an elephant. I think I was 4 then too.

I was three. My mom had poured soup into bowls and set them on a tray. I remember saying, "I'm a big girl. I can get the soup by myself." And I reached for the tray, all of the boiling hot soup poured onto my chest and stomach. I went into shock after that so I don't remember anything after that moment!
