My earliest memory is of my second birthday party. I remember seeing the cake and it looking absolutely delicious and wanting to touch it and eat it. I am continuous with that memory. My personality and attitude towards cake is very similar to the one I had when I was a toddler.

I don't know if this is a real memory, because I've heard that people can construct what they believe are memories out fo stories they've heard. But my earliest memory is my first birthday, sitting in my high chair, and diving into the chocolate cake my parents recklessly left on the high chair as they w...

The earliest memory that I can recall was my 4th birthday party. It was at a bowling alley, and this memory is significant because, out of all my friends at the party, I got the highest score at the end of the game. I also got a strike somwhere in the game. I don't feel that my personality/identity is the sam...

I was about 2 or 3 years old, and I lived in a small cul-de-sac. It was a dark evening in my house in Harleysville PA, and I could hear the soft pitter patter of ran. I was in my parent's room, and the lights were off as well, so every time lightning flashed outside, the house was lit up, and I waited for the bo...

I remember when I was 4 years old my brother and I where fighting for the softest couch in the hours. We where currently at our babysitters house and it was playtime.

My earliest memory is not very detailed. I remember being in my back yard, next to our storage shed while my dad was cutting up wood, so the circumstances weren't very extraordinary.

My first memory is from when I was about 4. My older brother and I who was 8 at the time were playing in his room with some blocks. I remember him looking at my castle and knocking everything over.

My earliest memory is of a lego creation at my preschool. I didn't want anyone to take it apart and brought it home with me and was later chastised by both my parents and my teacher for stealing. It made quite an impression on me. Wiggles

4-5 Years Old This memory is particularly memorable because it involves me almost drowing. I was 4/5 years old vacationing in Mexico with my family. We were down by the hotel pool getting ready to go swim. My parents were chaning, but I was already to go, so I ran over to the side of the pool. I looked d...

My earliest memory is at age three when my younger brother was born and my family came in from out of town to take care of my older brother and I so my parents could focus on the new baby.
