MEMORIES
- Memories
from this first year, are at best, vague.
- I
do remember being in a crib at the end of a room and looking out the
window at snow. It frightened me and I remember being upset by it
when I first noticed it (before I could talk).
- Also,
I remember a crib jungle-gym...reach up and pull the rings. I
remember my father talking to me while I was playing with it and not
understanding what he said. Eventually, I recall he said "red"
and picked up the "red" ring and put it in my hand. Same with
"blue." Then, he said "red" and I reached for the appropriate
object--he did this a number of times over. He was pleased.
He called my mother to see it. By then, I was tired and refused
to perform (no doubt much to his dismay). A lot of conversation
between my parents followed (I did not understand it). But, I did
understand "red" and "blue" (but not necessarily that they were general
colors...just that they applied to particular rings).
