I noticed a lot of things, but I forgot most. My memories from before five were full of details my parents really wished I hadn't caught but I only have about seven memories from before five.
It's a different stage of brain development. Learning is going on at a huge rate but it's process learning and cognition, not episodic, which btw, is the difference in Wesley's memory too. It means that learning how the kid's personal world works (in Joel's case, the babysitter barely blips, but a call from a sister means auntie hearing) registers, not incidents.
Be reassured. They probably won't be traumatized, but yeah, I'll aim older if I bring in the kids' side again.
