I cannot remember my very first days, but I got attention in so many ways. When I was first born I was very small. I couldn’t really do much at all. 4 5 And as the months passed I grew and grew. I learned many things, as all babies do. I learned to sit and I learned to stand. And I finally walked, holding someone’s hand. Now I can talk and walk on my own. And everyone says, “Oh, look how you’ve grown!” 6 7 There are lots of things I can do by myself, like tie my shoes and reach a high shelf. I can pick out the clothes that I want to wear. I can dress myself and comb my hair. I can talk to my friends and my family too. I can tell them exactly what I want to do. 8 9 I have grown a lot. I will grow a lot more. I will change and be different than I was before. But no matter how big I grow to be, one thing won’t change—I will always be me. But what makes me ME? Let’s see! 10 11 Being me begins with my name. We all have a first name and a last name. r is you What ame? first n r is you What me? a last n RED LUL U J. Most people have a middle name too. Some have lots of middle names! 12 Do yo u any m have idd name le s? What are th ey? Sometimes people are called by names that are not their real names. These names are nicknames. Joey might be called J. Lucinda might be called Lulu. Someone with red hair might be called Red. These are all nicknames. Do yo u a nick have name ?

Some have a room just for two…or three. Do yo u in a b sleep edroo m by yo urself ? If not, share who s wit you? h Sometimes lots of brothers or sisters share the same room. In some families, everyone sleeps together in one place. 18 Some people sleep in unusual places… like outside in a hammock under the stars! Have yo slept u ever in unus ual p an lace?

Every day we learn new words. We learn the names of things, like animals and foods. We learn about things we like and don’t like. We sniff a flower and know if it smells good or not! Things like this are easy to learn. Our eyes tell us strawberries are red. Our sense of taste tells us if we like them or not! 24 What i you re s a taste ally li ke?
