Firsts...
First Job: I assisted the pre-school teachers at the daycare center where I had spent before and after school and summers. I remember being really excited to go to my first staff meeting.
The First Thing to Your Left: My phone. I guess it's always nearby.
Something You Remember About First Grade: I remember my teacher, Mrs. Ikeda. She was a kind, tiny, Korean woman who worked a second job at a department store in the mall. She used to give my mom a bunch of free perfume samples when we stopped by to visit.
The First Book You Ever Read: I have no idea! I remember my favorite childhood book was Because a Little Bug Went Kachoo. I also remember playing read-along cassette tapes and turning pages to the chimes. Bambi and The Pink Panther were definitely in that mix.
The First Thing You Do In the Morning: Check to see if my teenager is up and getting ready for school.
The First Food You Knew You Didn't Like: Green beans. Blech. Now, I will eat green beans if they are fresh. I'm still not a fan of frozen or canned.
Your First Memory: I remember getting pretty pillows for my fourth birthday. Though it's hard to say now whether I remember it from the moment or because I've seen it in pictures.

Oh, read-a-long books! What happy memories that conjures - though I'm old enough that mine were on vinyl records instead of cassettes. The beep to turn the page is seared into my memory. Beeeeeeeep!
