Reach into the depths of your brain and find...

I'm noticing that most posters don't remember much about their toddler and baby years. Even the young ones who I kind of thought might remember more since the time span wasn't so great. The childhood amnesia thing is interesting. One theory I've read is we don't remember much because the circuitry in the brain isn't wired up in a well organized fashion yet, so lots of that stuff is "lost". I talk about things with my son to try to keep the memories, like "remember when you were two and you got a big blue toy tractor for your birthday?" He says yea, but he could be just humouring me. I'm glad I don't remember all those diaper changes or drinking from the bottle!
