View from the floor

My earliest memory is sitting on the living-room floor of the house where I lived with my parents. I'm in a diaper and nothing else, and I'm kind of moving on the floor, not really crawling, but kind of "getting there."

I remember the feel of the rug under me. I remember seeing sunlight coming in from the right side of the room, reaching out to feel it, touching it, and feeling "warm."

Our cat walked in. I reached out for him, and he let me somehow crawl on top of him. I remember feeling the way his fur felt. Then he slipped out from under me. I rolled onto my back and watched him walk away.
