I moved when I was about 4 years old so I have a lot of clear memories from the ages of 2-4. One of them was always hiding in the exact same spot when my mom would get off work (school teacher). I honestly thought she didn't know where I was when hiding (day after day after day).

I 'think' that I have a memory from being in a crib, but when I was old enough to pull myself up and stand (guessing about 15 months old). I started crying so my mom came in to ask if I was hungry or thirsty. I was old enough to understand what she was asking but not able to communicate clearly. The window next to my crib was open and I was getting cold. I wanted her to close it but she couldn't figure out what I was saying, which made me start crying more and more.

I drowned when I was 3. I remember waking up to my dad over me and everyone crying.

The first historical events I remember were the moon landing and the nightly news from Vietnam (we always watched ABC News with Howard K Smith). I do have memories from around the house from when I was 4-5 yrs old, too.

I remember being in the hospital at the age of 18 months. It's about a 3 second memory of me screaming in the hospital crib as my parents leave the room.

It's the only time I've been a patient in a hospital (old Our Lady of the Lake)

Went to a petting zoo at Bon Marche’ mall when I was 3. Tried to feed the goose and it bit me. It made me mad so I grabbed it by the neck and tried to choke it to death.

I can remember back to when I was 3 probably, and mostly stuff that happened in preschool. So vague now, but remember racing other kids on the school playground. I remember there was a big tractor tire in some part of the playground that would always fill up with water when it rained. I remember playing basketball (or trying to) in the gym. Strange enough, I don't remember any Christmases before I was 5, but I do remember making Christmas ornaments in school and getting my own gift in secret Santa, which was one of those race cars that would wind up when you wheeled them backwards and would go when you let go.

I also remember bringing this bad boy to pre-school and playing it.

I have many memories of my nursery school which I attended ages 3 and 4.

I have some foggier memories of the babysitter’s house in the neighborhood we moved out of at age two. Specifically watching bob ross, Sesame Street, and Pinwheel on PBS.

The older lady ran an in-home daycare where kids basically played in one big living room while PBS played all day on the TV. With some valium and a less litigious society, it was probably a pretty sweet gig.

I have a ridiculous memory; my parents often ask me details about stuff that happened when I was little that they forgot.

Some of my earliest memories are of going to Santa Claus Land in Indiana in the summer of 1966, which was before I turned two (in November 1966) and I remember the premier of "Star Trek" on TV at my grandparents house (they had a color TV, we didn't) which was in 1966 just before my 2nd birthday. I clearly remember LOTS of specific events that happened when we lived in Ocean Springs MS when I was 2; when we moved to Jackson, MS; Christmas 1967, watching the old "Batman" TV show; and my younger sister's birth, all of which happened when I was only 3 years old.

Took a nap at the Monster Truck show at the Centroplex back in ‘86 when I was around 3-4 years old.

My old man and brother literally couldn’t fathom how I was able to sleep when it was so loud.

fricking missed Grave Digger. Still kick myself over that one.

I was running around barefoot and stepped on a piece of glass. Cut my foot real bad. I was two. My 12-year-old brother carried me into the house and my Mom drove me to the doctor.
