What is the earliest age you can remember?

The youngest age that I remember is four years old. I think I remember this age well because that is when my mother left us. I wish that we could remember when we were babies. I think that would be a good thing.

oh.. i can remember the time i went to Disney Land in USA when i was 4. But it's in bits and pieces. But i still remember anyhow. another is i think about the age of 6, i carried my baby cousin and dropped her. *oppsie* but she's fine and alive and kicking. other than that, i choose to filter out embarrassing and unfavorable events that sometimes still do come back to haunt me.

Some of us DO remember being infants and toddlers. I amazed my family several times when I would remember things from being that young. I surprised my mom when I described my first birthday cake and the home we lived in back then with alot of detail. I also remembered at the age of two I'd curl up and nap on the porch with the neighbors cat in the sunshine. I even remember when mom would rock me as a baby, and the night as a toddler a bat got into that home and mom and I hid under the table while dad tried to catch it. LOL I remember at the age of three trying to pay for ice cream from the ice cream man with rocks. He thought it was cute and let me do it. Then there was the time I fell down the steps at 3 years old and got a black eye. I have all sorts of memories from when I was little. When I was 4 the neighbor's garage caught fire and I remember standing there watching the firemen trying to put it out while she cried. Also when I was 4 my cat had kittens under my bed and mom and I made up a box for them to sleep in. I have so many memories of my childhood. And now that my mom has passed away and my dad is getting older I'm grateful to have all of these memories.

I am not sure how young I was, but I can remember being in my playpen, holding on to the sides,(I was still wobbly if I didn't hold on) and my big brother fedding me baby food! He would try to give me a bite and I wouldn't take it until he did it first. After that, my nexy memory was when I was about 2 or three.

I remember a few events when I was about 5 or so. I am 42 now. I don't recall a lot, and compared to most people, I think that my memory is terrible regarding those years. I often wonder if I am suppressing some event? I have been hypnotized once, not for the reason of getting to that age and retrieving memories, but I do think it would be helpful. When I was hypnotized I was taken back to when I was in elementary school, but if the memory isn't there in the first place, how do they get it out of you?

Awesome topic! This is a question I've asked myself and others around me numerous times. The earliest age I can remember is probably five years old. The only things I really remember is trying to squirm out of my uncles arms for a picture. I remember whenever the wood company would drop off wood in my yard for the wood stove and I'd climb it like it was a mountain. My imagination ran wild with that. One christmas, I got a three wheeler. I remember at a very young age going down my hill next to my house at ridiculous speeds. Everything past these moments I can remember. So the earliest I'd say was around five years old.

My earliest memory is of a holiday in Devon when I was 18 months, I can also remember being a pre-school toddler. all the best urban

I was 4 years old when I started remembering things. I mostly remember some of my preschool days, such as getting a popsicle for a snack and reccess time. My husband on the other hand told me that he can remember things as far back as a year and a half old. I get a little jealous that he can remember so far back, but then again with me being deathly ill when I was a baby, maybe it's just as well that I can't remember!

I actually can recall clearly the day that my little brother was born. I was 3. I think maybe because it was such a dramatic day with my mom suddenly being rushed to the hospital and I as she jumped into some car with a suitcase she told me to go stay with my grandmother. I really didn't understand what was going on but I did think she was leaving me and rather than run across the street to my grams, I ran into the house and climbed up on a stool and called my other gram across town and told her that my mommy had abandoned me. Needless to say, it did cause some friction between my grandmother and mother. My mom was pretty angry with me for a long long time over that one as I should have known better....i guess.

I have read stories about people being regressed back to their births. I used to think it was important to be able to remember that but I no longer do, because you are born new with every breath. I prefer to remember my more pleasant encounters... and meeting the brightly lit sterile hospital room head first and then smacked on the rear is not my idea of a pleasant encounter!! On the other hand the screen door closing behind me early on a sunny morning, with the dew still sparkling on the grass is a memory I cherish. I think I was 2 or 3 at the time. Another one I cherish, is of sitting on my rope swing that hung from the cherry tree that was next to the lilac hedge, listening to love stories about the sky that the cherry tree spoke in my mind. I was 5 I think, maybe as old as 7 though.

I can remember a thing that happened when I was about 3 or 4 years old. The neighbour's daugher and I were at my house. We were upstairs and we were alone. We decided to empty every cupboard in the room, and we helped eachother. There were lots of things and I remember that it was hard for us to get everything out of those cupboards, because we were not tall enough, but we really struggled. It was very important to us to empty them completely. The next thing I remember is my mother who was tidying up the room after the neighbour's daughter had left, and she was pretty angry because of the mess that we had made...

I can't even remember what I was doing when I was 5 years old. I think the only history I can remember when I was 10 years old. I am not good in remembering things that's why I have a special notes for myself on what to do the next day.:)
