Born at 8lbs,8oz. With a full head of hair. I was a week and a half past my original birthday, so they induced my mother.

My mom started by placing me against couch cushions for support. Eventually she moved the cushions and I sat up alone!

-
I began crawling earlier than my sisters. Once I started moving there was no stopping me.

I sucked on my pointer and middle finger of my right hand. I sucked on these fingers for far longer than I should have. After so many years of finger sucking, I needed braces to correct the damage that was done to my bite.
-
-
I started wearing glasses and patches at two years old. I still wear glasses to this day.
-
I hated that I couldn't wear the same clothes or shoes as my sisters. I would actually take their items and hide them under my bed.

We knew the rules of the house, and we listened. If we broke the rules, we would get spankings or groundings.

My sisters and I would lay on top of the matress and pretend that there were sharks swimming in the carpet. You had to help pull eachother up when we would hit rough waters.
