Earliest Memory Lab. sm


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 window and climb up so I can look out of it.  I look out the window and I see a guy riding his bike.  Also in retrospect, I do not really identify with the person in this memory. I am aware that it is me, but I obviously feel like a bigger version of the person in this memory.

This is similar to my earliest memory. All I remember is seeing and experiencing things but I don't remember any verbal thought.

My memory also dealt with being like "Whoa, why is everything so big" and in retrospect everything was normal sized when I was young in comparison to young me. But the way I remember it made me realize how small I was and how big everything else was. I also think that what we remember is so incredibly random in some cases because when we experience it, we sometimes have not measure of how significant it is. I remember when I was one year old and laying on my grandmothers couch; nothing amazing, but I remember it.
