What is your earliest memory? How old were you?

I think it's when I was around 4. My mom used to run a day care out of our house and I remember she put us all down for our naps. I got out of bed and hid under this magazine table and I could fit in the magazine storage part. I thought it was the coolest thing!

I was 3-4 and was at my cousin's apartment. Both families lived in the same apartements and they were on the floor below me. Cousin and sister are 10 years older, so I got to watch a lot of scary movies during this time... cousin let me watch Pet Cementary. Sister went to the fair and won a stuffed cat, and put it on our bed. I went up stairs to our apartment and went to our bedroom... saw the cat and FREAKED THE F OUT - and locked myself in the bathroom. Took my parents a while to coach me out and show it was fake.

I remember pushing my little brother around in his little walker-type thing, I was only like 2.5 so it's kind of a freakishly early memory.

I was eating breakfast with my siblings. I didn't sit at the table with the rest of them, because I was pretending to order food at the counter. I was probably 4, not sure... I read a while ago that long term memory doesn't develop until your 4, so that's a good number to go with.

I remember my mom using the dirt devil to sweep up spilled dog food. I remember crawling around while she was doing it, so I don't even think I could walk yet. I was probably around 2.

I also remember eating in my high chair once.

I always had this memory of being in my mom's bedroom with all of these blue and purple balloons. A few years ago, I was looking through old pictures and saw that those balloons were at my grandfather's 50th birthday party. I would have only been 9 months old at the time! I think that's WAY too early for a first memory, so I'm wondering if those same balloons were used for another party when I was a bit older!

I have no idea why this is all underlined...I can't get it to stop!

My cousin and I are just over a year apart, and our brothers are 3.5 yrs older than us (her brother is 1 yr older than my brother, who is 3.5 yrs older than me, get it?) Well, at Christmastime our brothers got gum and I wanted some but couldn't have any. (because we were too little...but all I remember is me and my cousin wanting gum for Christmas like our brothers and not getting it...all the other details are for context and have been told to me by others)

Later I learned that the only time we went to their house around Christmas was when I was 15 months old...that's crazy right?

Then I remember not wearing pants at my third birthday party (which was 2 months early due to us moving)

I remember a few things from preschool.

lehc723 · January 2014

I was three, maybe four, and I remember throwing fruit in to my neighbor's yard and getting caught by the neighbor who just yelled, "That's not very nice!" and I tried to hide behind a tree. I still get embarrassed about that!

I remember getting this really awesome clear backpack that had all of these floating animals and a clear umbrella for Christmas one year. I think I was 3 almost 4 (my birthday is in February).

Running around in my parents' room while listening to Disney soundtracks on vinyl albums.

Disney World when I was four. We went with like 18 other family members. It was my first plane ride and trip there. Such a great memory!

I remember going frequently with my mom to my brother's Kindergarten class. She was the room mom and I would go with her and we'd sit in the hallway while she graded papers or whatnot. I would have been 2.

I don't remember how old I was. My mom was in the living room and I told her I wanted ginger ale. She told me to get my cup and the bottle and to bring it to her. The bottle was a little further back on the counter than I could reach, so I knocked it over and it rolled off the counter onto the floor. I brought it to my mom and when she opened it, it exploded! It was EVERYWHERE. I vividly remember my mom screaming at me that you can't shake carbonated drinks because they explode as she was mopping the ceiling. It was even dripping off the ceiling fan blades. She was so mad. I laugh all the time about it.

I remember being a public pool with my mother and I had a paintbrush and a bucket of water. In the kiddie area there was giant stone carved in to the shape of turtles that we could climb on. I remember "painting" them with my water and paintbrush. When I asked my mom about it she said the last time we were there I was 2!

minionlover · January 2014

I remember being in our playroom singing Row Row Row Your Boat in the dark with my mom. The only light was from her cigarette. I don't know exactly how old I was but I was definitely 2.5 or younger.
