    Mine is of my first birthday. After that, I don't recall anything until I was three in nursery school.

    And yet, from the age of six onwards, my memory has been almost non-existent...

    Mine is me being in a playpen in the front yard of where we lived and there were lots of my extended family around. I was old enough to pull myself up and stand at the rail maybe even walk Im not sure. My mom told me that it was my uncles birthday and she has no clue how I can possibly remember that.

    I have the same problem with the middle to the end of the 70's! lol. Good times....

    Seriously, my earliest memory is of staying with my Grandmother when my Mom was in the hospital having my sister. I was about 3 1/2. I *think* I can remember earlier than that, but it might just be the memories I have of seeing pictures from when I was younger than 3.

    Mine would be my fourth birthday party. It was that blizzard in the northeast in 1996, everyone was trapped in my house.

    At said party I was playing hairdresser with my neighbor and she kept banging me on the head with the back of the hair dryer......(she was just jealous, it was purple! :P)

    Age 4. My dad ran me over and I remember him carrying me into the house, I remember the car ride to the hospital and then the x-ray machine. Don't remember going home though.

    Hmm... must have been 4 or 5 years old. Very sick around Christmastime - I had to stay in my room while the family celebrated (Christmas Eve). I was able to come out after everyone had gone home, and I remember sitting in front of the fireplace, near the Christmas tree, watching cartoons and eating oatmeal that my Mom had made for me.

    Sweet, right?

    I remember the blizzard of '78 in Ohio...I have no idea how since I was three, but I clearly remember the snow being halfway up the swing-set in the back yard and my mom not letting me go outside with my brother and sister because it would have been over my head....

    When I was 4 1/2, at my grandfathers funeral.
    They had the bottom of the casket closed, and I thought he was cut in half :/

    I remember the floorplan and the furnishings in the house I was born in, and we moved out of when I was 3, so although it's not that specific, I have memories from approx. age 3.

    I remember my dad teaching me how to read when I was 2. That's probably THE earliest.
