Young childhood memories?

Question

Anyone have any childhood memories before the age of two? I've heard of people being able to remember incidences from being a toddler and even a baby. The earliest one I have is probably from about the age of two. I know this because I was already walking.I know I wasn't older than this though because I was talking and it must have come out as baby talk because no one could understand what I was saying. I remember the frustration I felt because I knew exactly what I was trying to communicate, but my mom kept asking me "what?" over and over. I remember I was trying to ask why so many people were sitting on our couch, but I must have just been babbling all kinds of things. I always thought this was really interesting because I can remember the emotions I felt, the frustration at having to repeat myself and wandering why no one could understand me. Anyone else have any very young memories?

Answer 1

yeah, I do,from age 1.5 or 2. I remember my dad getting off of work and I remember moving to my current house. I was not even two. This is my earliest memory. It was a long long time ago. Memory is amazing isn't it. You are interesting in the fact that you were so understanding, are you wanting to be a psychologist?

Answer 2

I have 2 memories from the age range of 2-3. Both traumatic experiences. One was my older sister putting my head thru the window of our front door and the other was getting my arm caught in an old fashion washing machine that had a wringer. I can still visualize sitting on my mom's lap as the police car pulled into the hospital parking lot.

For you young folks, some washing machines used to have 2 rollers that you would feed the clothes thru to remove as much water as possible so that you could hang the clothes out to dry. I was about 2 when I stuck my arm in while mom wasn't watching. This was in the early 70's.

Answer 3

I remember: -when we bought my first bunk-bed because I was almost two and had a baby sister on the way. I was still wearing diapers and had to reach up above my head to hold my father's hand. -my first elephant ride. I was about a year and a half old. I found the photos. In my memory, the seats on the elephant were a weird wire contraption that stuck directly out of its head with handlebars on its ears. I totally misinterpreted that as a small child. It is uncommon, but it happens.

Also, the time I thought the knife was just the right size to fit into the outlet... BUZZ! Oh, so that's why Mommy always said don't stick things in the outlet.

Thinking the cactus looked fuzzy so I wanted to grab it. I was in diapers. It took my mother forever to pluck all the needles out of my hand.

Answer 4

I am 45 now and I have one memory from being two. It is shadowy, but I recall being in the backseat of a car. In front of me are the two front seats... large, looming above me. Beyond the dark seats, are the lights inside the building we are parked in front of... I once told my Mom about this... back when the memory was younger... I told her that I thought it might have been the Plymouth Stationwagon... She said that it was... it was the day we bought it at the dealership. 1963. I was 2 years old.

I also remember having chicken pox when I was 3. My brother and I had them at the same time. My Mom came into our bedroom and entertained us by painting a tree on the wall, making the cracks in the wall the branches.

When I was 4, broke both of my collarbones... I was skipping up the concrete stoop that led to the house. I missed a step and rolled all the way back down the steps. The memory plastered forever in my brain is "neighborhood-grey- neighborhood-grey- neighborhood-grey...", as I left my eyes open as I rolled down...

I have a pretty strong memories starting from the age of 4...

Answer 5

The earliest memory I have is holding onto my parents' bed as I walked around it. I was headed to the window on the other side of the room, because my gums hurt and I wanted to chew on something, and that window had a window sill low enough for me to chew on and look out of the window at the same time. I was wearing a blue dress with red flowers on it. My mom figures I must have been between 15-19 months old.

Answer 6

My earliest memory is from I was about 14 months old. I had the mumps, and I remember clearly sitting in my high chair looking out the kitchen window and eating crackers shaped like Disney-characters. I don't remember any sensations or emotions - it's just a clear picture in my head.

Answer 7

I understand you perfectly.

I clearly remember when I was being carried on my mothers and fathers arms I was always pulling the other way.

I also remember I felt very uncomfortable when being changed diapers.

I felt very nice when my mother cuddled me.

When I started to try to walk I remember I tried to hold on against a column, and felt terrorized at the idea of falling I seemed to be so high up.

I belive very few people have this memories. We are lucky

People dont believe us because they dont remember, so they tend to think we are making it up.

Dave's suited, the factors the keep long term thoughts are actually not totally progressed. Our brains exchange quickly interior the 1st few years of existence. in many cases human beings's first thoughts take place around age 3 or 4. nevertheless some human beings do remember issues in the previous yet many times they're very fragmented or jumbled up with yet another reminiscence.

Answer 9

I remember hearing a passing truck near our apartment window and walking towards it to see what was outside. However, I could not reach the window and only remember seeing the top of the building next to ours. I was 1-2 yrs old.

Answer 10

I remember my parents receiving a phone call in the night, telling them that Robert F. Kennedy had been murdered. It had the feel of a death in the family. My parents turned on the TV to watch the news. I was 14 months old.
