I have a lot of vivid memories from my childhood (I'm 30 now), some of them are about the most random things. I remember stuff from when I was 3 years old and a couple of things before that. I've read that people don't usually remember anything before their 4th birthday, and I have a friend who doesn't even remember kindergarten!
But I can say my earliest memory is probably going to the hospital to see my mom and my new baby brother! It was a couple of months before I turned 3. So I was still 2 years old at the time. I remember going in and seeing my mom, and she got up and was really sore... then I remember looking in at the nursery at all the babies. I remember asking my dad if they were all baby brothers, and my parents laughed so hard because they thought I was asking if they were all MY baby brothers. But I was actually asking if all of the babies were boys and if they all had older siblings. lol.
Then I remember holding my brother for the first time. So it must have been soon after my mom got home. I remember wanting to touch his head, and my mom said I had to be very gentle, so she put him in my lap and helped me hold him, and I was soooooo careful when I touched his head. My mom said I had to be really gentle, and since I hadn't ever touched a baby that little before, I didn't know how gentle I had to be. I just remember having to restrain myself because I was afraid what might happen to him if I touched him too hard. hehe
Anyway, I'm just curious what's the farthest back you can remember? Share your earliest memory if you'd like.
Edit:
I just remembered another memory I have that I think is from before my brother was born. I have a memory of being in my crib at night, hearing my dad working on the room that was going to be my room once my brother was born, and I just kinda sat up in my crib and played with my stuffed animals. I think I remember there being a bunny. I also used to like to take the sheet off the mattress in my crib and look at the picture of the baby on the label. haha.
