Children in their first few years are unable to articulate clearly through speech. Yet they are able to communicate through their actions (particularly crying) to show us what they want. Yet we have never truly known what they were thinking, feeling or comprehending.
Most of us cannot remember prior to around four years old. Well, Rebecca Sharrock is different and can remember every day of her life since she was just 12 days old.
"As a newborn child I was curious to what the seat cover and steering wheel above me were. Though at that age I hadn't yet developed the ability to want to get up and explore what such curious objects could be," she wrote in a post on Omni.
Rebecca has shed some light on what and how children think in those years that most of us forget. As you could guess she "would spend a lot of time in my crib looking at surrounding toys and the stand-up fan".
Yet some things you would never guess, such as her understanding of dreams. "At that age I thought I was really leaving home each night, so I'd always want my mum with me while I was sleeping."
