I was in the playground of my local preschool (while I was attending it) and it was the middle of winter. There was snow all over the ground and I was rolling a huge (relative to me) snowball to make a snowman. I was most likely 3 years old. I remember this because I was so proud to have made a snowball almo...

My earliest memory was of myself sitting on the ground playing with a hot wheels toy car while my mother watched. I don't remember much else than that, I remember that the ground I was sitting on was a white colored carpet. I was three years old at the time of this memory. There wasn't anything extraordin...

My earliest memory was very brief. I remember liking to crawl under beds to sleep. I remember crawling under my parents bed and hearing people running around and making significant noises. That's all I remember, but when I told parents about my earliest memory they filled in the part I was unaware...

On my first day of pre-school, when I was four years old, my mom walked me to pre-school, which was at a church. I used to wear a Chicago Bulls hat back then. When we reached the church, I told my mom to not leave and wait for me outside until my first day was over. She was there when I came out, but as it turns out...

The earliest memory I can recall is from when I was pre school. I was 3 or 4 at the time and there was a special event that day where the pre school had a relative of everyone's come in. My Dad's mother, Gammy, came in that day. I don't remember too much of that day, but I can remember bits and pieces of it. I thi...

I was 3 or 4 years old, and I went with my parents to Florida on vacation. We stayed outside this beach with really fine grained sand. For some reason, the sand reminded me of sugar, and I kept calling it "sugar sand". I think at the time I thought it was some kind of brilliant discovery of associ...

I have the very distinct memory of running through the sprinklers on our front lawn in my swimsuit. I can still feel the wet grass sticking to my legs. It felt so good because it was a really hot day. My aunt was visiting and my dad was taking pictures and then we had cookout with hot dogs and hamburgers. I w...

My earliest memory was probably from around the time that I was 3 or 4 years old. I was sitting upside down in a giant green armchair trying to read a book and just looking at the pictures. There is nothing particular about this memory I just remember it because my mom thought it was very funny at the time. ...

My earliest memory was from when I was about 5 or 6 months old. I remember seeing my mom trying to cheer me up. I remember her weird 90's Mexican hairdo and her blue spotted blouse along with the odd discolored bedsheets and the way the bedroom was set up. Then I remebered seeing my whole family show up. I re...

My earliest memory, that I am positive that actually happened, was when I was about about three and a half. At the preschool I attended, we were throwing our own circus for our parents. I remember wearing my pink tutu running around in the "circus march" and then crawling through a hula hoop...

There was an on-site preschool at my mothers job which I attended when I was three and four years old. It was a long drive to the campus and the highlight of the trip was the passing of two train bridges. It was a good day if there were trains parked on the bridge and my favorite car was the orange Tropicana...

My earliest memory is me being in my crib during the night and for some reason I was awake and wanted my mom. I started calling out "Mom" kind of softly because I didn't want to wake everyone else up, but slowly I started getting louder. No one responded so I held onto the edge of my crib and star...

The earliest memory I remember would probably have to be when I was the age of three and in pre-k. I remember it being called Jack and Jill. I also remember what the room looked like. I remember there being a mirror we could wash, fake teeth that can be brushed, and I think an old Apple computer. I don't know...

My earliest memory was actually from when I was six months old. I have two that I can remember at the momement. The first memory was very simple and I know I was six months old because I told my mother my memory and wondered where it was from and astonishingly she told me that I was only about 5-6 months old...

My earliest memory is playing in my basement with my siblings and using our children's plastic kitchen set and pretend creating a restaurant for my parents to come down and order food. We would make menus and pretend to make the food for them. I was probably around 5 or 6 for this memory. I think my ide...

I was around 3 years old. I remember where I used to live in Tennessee. I remember eating breakfast getting ready to go out and play with my friends in our apartment quad. I think this was particularly memorable because it was basically my first set of close friends. It is also my first move to America. I...

My earliest memory is from when I broke my arm in kindergarten. I believe it was spring, so I was probably 6? It's the only time I've ever broken a bone, which makes it pretty significant. I'm not sure I'm the same person as I was. The "Me" of today wouldn't have tried playing with my older broth...

The earliest memory that I can recall now is from when I was in kindergarten. I remember it was nap time and we pulled out our blankets to lay on the ground. I happened to choose a place next to the classroom door. I never actually slept in nap time and so like every other day, I just laid there pretending to s...

I was approximately 2 years of age and I remember being so small because everything around me seems so much bigger in my memory. I recall it being an early summer morning where everyone in the house was still sleeping. I go from room to room to see if anyone might be up. I finally give up. I go to a near by wi...

The first memory I have was when I was in Kindergarden so I was probably five. It was recess and we were playing in the playground.

I would guess my earliest memory was of a walk my father and I took along a stream near our house. I was three. There were not many people around and I recall the ground being moist but not muddy.
