This morning my son crawled into a large tupperware storage box with his "baby" and his cookie blanket and pretended to go to sleep. He's an excellent fake snorer and will shut his eyes, open his mouth and breathe loudly. Hilarious kid. At least once a week I wonder if he is creating his first memory. If the moment I hug him, the moment I discipline him or the moment his hand gets caught in the screen door will be his original recollection. I do so want his life to be speckled with kind thoughts of his childhood.
So, what was your first childhood memory? Separating your current feelings about your parents from that time of your life, what do you recall about your parents from that time of life?
Now, to the work for this week. When I say that I want you to link your blog to beloved web sites and create a blog roll of excellent reading, I mean that you need to go out and explore and FIND things that are well-written and created by people just like you! You MUST search!
There was more activity on the Wiki yesterday, which is wonderful. Be sure to not only post your work, but respond to others as well. Starting tomorrow, we will begin to create an online textbook/manual for understanding teen behavior on our Wiki. Pretty cool, huh?

I'd have to say that my first childhood memory is when we were trick or treating, I was about 3 years old, and it was October 31, 1993. We were trick or treating and there was a HUGE blizzard. I vaguely remember it but I do remember my mom or Uncle carrying me as we were trick or treating.
As for my parents, they were divorced so it was like two separate lives for me. My mom was fun. She would make these deserts for us kids all of the time. I can't remember what she called it because it all slowly stopped as I got a tiny bit older. There was two ho-hos in the vanilla ice cream with hot fudge and whipped cream. It was AMAZING and DELICIOUS!! She would take us to the drive-ins and go-karts all of the time. She would also take us to the Cinema Cafe, Dari-Ette, and Bridgeman's. I loved spending time with her and doing things for her. My dad and I weren't really close though. I don't really have any memories with him, sad to say.
Thanks for sharing your memories. That dessert sounds super delicious! I am really enjoying getting to know you through this forum Becky.
