Simple enough question, barring hypnotic regression, what is your earliest childhood memory?

As for me, when I was aged 3-4, playing cards with my grandfather (who died in the same year).

For me the earliest I can remember is the time I "first"* learnt to crawl. I crawled towards my dad, who looked happy at me. I don't know how old I was, but I couldn't have been that old.

*I say "first" because for all I know I had been crawling for awhile. However, it was my first memory of crawling.

Well for me it was when i almost drown at 2 or 3 years of age,and thats something i wish i couldn't remember.

Throwing a cat down the stairs.

Don't worry about it, cats were made to be thrown.

(because of the whole "landing upright thing" - yes, I love cats. I don't want bad juju from the catlovers...*looks left to right*)

And Montcalm, I almost drowned too. Well, not really, I fell into the shallow end. But I think that was a time when I couldn't swim. Luckily my brother was there or else I would have.

I remember being 3 or 4 being at the beach, it was a lovely sunny day and i was running into the water. Thbe water was so cold i burst into tears.

i remember being around 3 or 4. was outside the front lawn and got stung by a bee. i've had an undying hatred of bees and their unholy ilk ever since.

Diaper change and pissing in my father's face. I recall finding his reaction funny which is probably why I remember it.

The earliest memory I could remember is when my family moved from our rented house to our new apartment.

I can't remember which is my earliest memories. And I don't have much memories too.

What does this mean?

Almost being hit by a very large car while standing against the brick wall of my parents' apartment.

Dropping a lightbulb in our library when I was 2 1/2.

My dad pulling up in front of the house in a brand new 1969 Chevrolet Impala, and not recognising him at first because it wasn't the car I was used to him coming home in.

being chased down the street by an alsation when i was three

Walking around during my cousins 2 year birthday, I was walking way early, too bad I didn't speak till I was 2, but Bi-lingual and all.

Though for stupidty sake, I remember I was 4, and puked after eating chocolate, now I won't touch black choco.

Maybe it wasn't chocolate that you ate,and i'm so embarassed for you.

When I was three, in my parent's Pinto...us getting slammed by a bus.

And then Hospital lights.

Age 4, on a plane to Australia, of all things I remember having a nightmare and throwing up. Fortunately I remember more of Australia than that.

I was almost two, and I remeber bringing a pillow to my mom in the hospital, who had just given birth to my sister.

I'm in a crib at a hospital looking at a spinning toy on the crib. I also remember being fed green jello there and not liking it. According to my parents I was only just over 1 year old at this time and was at the hospital because I had a bad flu and couldnt keep anything down.

Pushing my less than one year old sister out of her hammock/crib and making her cry.

Um... That would have been bad. (Understatement of the year)

Anyway, me? Leaving Fort Myers after the third grade. Yeah, third grade. Well, that's the biggest thing, with the whole fun ride in the U-Haul truck and all. Little stuff before then, but it was all basically centered around third grade.

Why I don't remember earlier I don't know. Repression maybe.

Playing in the driveway way back in Ontario with my brothers. Dad built us a contraption using a screen door, which we used to sift dirt and make extremely fine sand. Mixed with water, it made a passable sort of pavement, which we then used our tonka truck to drive on. Roads repairs were needed often. Ah...the memories...

I was in the hospital, right before the second stage of a big surgery (I was born with a hole between 2 chambers in my heart). I was in pain and thirsty, but my family was there and they had brought these litte die-cast Star Wars toys (this was right around the time that ESB came out). I was very scared.

I remember being wheeled away by the doctors, and have some memories of the prepping and the recovery.


Now that I think about it, this might have contributed to my fear of greys. Because they abduct and operate on people.

I remember the Star Tours ride at Disney MGM. I think it was my 3rd birthday.
