I truly do wonder what a childs' first coherent thought is...
I have memories from very early in my childhood. When I was one and a half years old, I developed pneumonia which I remember quite vividly. Even long before that I think my first memories were of the different colors present in my surroundings. I think visual stimuli are among the first things a child begins to analyze and form thoughts about.

Tolstoy wrote; "men only learn when they're suffering". The question is; how much do you want to learn?

I imagine it's similar to how animals think, much more instant, instincitive, and emotional, without any definite words, thought is much more reactive than proactive.
