What's your earliest memory?

Question

Mine is visiting my sister in hospital when she had scarlet fever. I must have been 3 or so.

Answer 1

I was 2 yr 11mths - visiting my newborn sister in an incubator in hospital. Brought her an orange & white squirrel soft toy (that I wanted 'to look after' for her) called 'Nutty'. She still has this nearly 30 years later.

Answer 2

Around age 3 I had chicken pox, I remember there was an accident at the corner of our street and I could not go see it like my brother did since I had chicken pox. I also remember a white lace dress with two layers and black shiny shoes, I think this was prior to the chicken pox, but I do not know how old I was. I think I did not have a lot of speaking skills yet as I also remember just watching alot. I remember swinging my legs and watching the shoes, I think I was sitting on the toilet, but not sure.

Answer 3

I remember going somewhere with my grandfather and my cousin. My grandpa bought us these little plastic wind mills and when you turned the sails a tiny round sweetie would drop out the door of the windmill. My mother tells me I was about 11/2 years old. Another memory that I have from around about the same time is walking alomg the baech in North Africa with my mother and getting what I called "walking shells" (hermit crabs)

Answer 4

I must have been around 1 year of age.
I was sitting in the high chair by the stove
in the kitchen.

My mom had soft-boiled an egg and put it
in a wooden egg cup which had a painted
chicken on it. I was sitting in the high chair
and couldn't stand soft-boiled egg yolk.
I kept picking at the egg and couldn't get
out of the high chair so I was just stuck there.

Answer 5

I can remember my first hair cut. The picture afterwards, being posed, while sitting on a livingroom table like a lamp, but not as bright!
I wasn't a year old! I could walk and I wore saddle shoes, (that I hated!) and a navy outfit, (not the color, but the service)

I liked my white boots better!

I remember the barber, the smells, the board I sat on!

Answer 6

Great question! I remember my grandmother letting me help her bake bread. I believe I was about 2 years old. I remember reaching into the bowl and feeling the squishy rubbery dough, shaping it into a ball, punching it down, kneading it. It's a vivid fond memory of a lady I miss dearly and a pasttime I still enjoy to this day.

Answer 7

Mine is standing oh so quietly beside my mother - I must have been 1.5 and my mother was reading in this rocking chair. I have always been quiet - and she leaned forward - and I stuck my hand in the back between her and the chair. She leaned back, and after what my mother recalled as a few minutes, she heard me quietly say (and yes, I remember this and the excitement that followed) - 'hand tuck'. Great memory.

Answer 8

Mine earliest memory is crying in my baby bed in my parents room. I was moved out of the room before I was six months old, but I was not big enough to stand up in my baby bed. I can just remember seeing their feet in their bed and my mom coming over to the baby bed to see why I was crying.

Answer 9

One of the strongest was being hit in the face with a baseball bat when I was three.Nearly my whole face was black and blue but my mom waited too long to take the pictures.My brother said it was my fault because his friend was swinging the bat around in circles and I had walked into it.Afterwards I didn't have much interest in baseball or sports especially playing them.
