I can remember being an infant getting washed in a bathroom sink and laying in my crib. I'll never forget how water looks to an infants eyes, it's very sparkly with all the colors of a rainbow in it. (More so than I've seen since)
I wish I could remember being in the womb but I'm not sure I'd know what I was remembering if I could.
It would be an odd memory, I guess it would mostly be sounds,feelings and possibly views of light through skin.

I'm 40 by the way so you'll know how far back I'm talking about.

I remember back to 2-1/2 years old when we got a new puppy.

Dear one, nobody remembers being in the womb--this brain that many of us scarcely use as adults isn't quite ready in the womb. Anyway, I remember being four and dancing on the bar in the redneck dive in Atlanta that Papa owned. I remember the shouts and the applause, and on the day I turned 17 I made my way to New York where I would be an actor, which I still am.

My first memories are from when I was 3 years old and going into the hospital for a tonsillectomy. I remember the crib, my father bringing me a Mrs. Beasley doll, the bed wheeling me to the big room with really bright lights and the black mask. I have a huge blank spot after the operation though as I had a reaction to the penicillin afterwards and it almost killed me so they put me in a medical coma for a week.

I can remember being 8 months old and in my crib. I had to wear wooden braces at night to help correct a pigeon toed foot or something like that. Anyway, the braces went from my hip to my feet and there was a piece of metal in the middle right at my knees, so I couldn't bend them, which drove me crazy cuz I luv to sleep in the fetal position. So I remember lifting up my legs, which were so heavy I had to brace my back with my hands, and I would rub my feet back and forth on the crib bars (which made ALOT of noise) I can hear it right now in my head, until my Mom would get up and take the brace thing off. My Mom can't believe I remember that, but I remember it like it was yesterday!! But don't ask me what I had for lunch....I agree with julescarecrow...the water does sound magical.

I remember being in my crib at the age of 1 or younger with Dr. Hook's "When you're in love with a beautiful woman" playing on the radio, which incidentally came out the same year I was born. I also remember being in my crib, waking one morning and hearing voices coming from the living room. I tried to say "Mama" (to my step-mother), but it was like I was paralyzed and my voice had been stolen from my lips as I mouthed the word repeatedly. My mother says a mute demon had stolen my voice, but she HAS been in and out of mental hospitals my whole life.lol (seriously though) I wish I too could remember the water from back then, it sounds almost magical from a babies perspective.

Christmas, at age 18 months; being totally, completely fascinated with the lights on the tree. I just laid down underneath the tree and looked straight up. Colored sparkly lights everywhere. My first Wow experience, I think.
And that was, oh, let's say a bit over 50 years ago.

I can't remember my experience in the womb either,but I'm pretty sure that I was laughing about something...My adoptive parents told me that I was the only one laughing,when they chose me.
I honestly do seem to remember wanting desperately,to be released from the confinds of my crib,when I was 1-3 yrs of age...
One cool trick in jogging,hidden memories is to write with the opposite of your dominate hand...(figures,I am ambidextrous,as a drummer)..So I just simply write with my toes. LOL

I can't remember which is the earliest. I do remember hitting my self in the head with a hammer. and breaking the glass out of the gas meter, again with a hammer.
you would think that with my love for hammers I would have grown up to be a carpenter. not so.
I was 5, and am now 64.

In the bath with my brother, also a dog barking in my face, both before I was 2.
I'm 6 foot 1 now. In my memory the dog's about 8 feet. Does anyone have a memory of a bigger dog?

The latest I can remember was when I was 3 years old and I thought I was an airplane. I ran thru our open front door and 'crashed' into our couch. I couldn't really feel my arm so I went to my mom and asked if my arm was broken. She told me to open a piece of gum and when I couldn't she took me to the doctors. Turned out I broke my right wrist. It sure taught me a lesson on air planes and how to avoid things! =)

I was sitting on the potty chair unable to follow the commands given to me. But there was a time when I was amusing myself on the floor under my parents bed where I was forced to stay at times. Much more fun than a potty chair.
