I remember our cat had kittens. I was putting the kittens into the toilet to give them a bath and I remember my mom coming up behind me. I have another memory from when we moved when I was 4. Then most of my memories are from kindergarten and on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196227 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 09:54:15 +0000 travelgirl1 2196227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a few memories from bring really young. I remember standing in my crib, crying for my mum, but my dad came and he was pissed off. He eventually got me out of bed but wouldn't let me how to my mum. I remember my first day at playschool too, I was probably three by then. I remember a lot after starting school at four, but have flashes of memories before then. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196138 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 09:04:41 +0000 Maysprout 2196138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have several from when I was 2 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196093 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 08:35:03 +0000 Adira 2196093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple memories from when I was 3-4 when I was in a wedding and a couple memories of preschool when I was 4?

I didn't have anything really traumatic happen as a young child, and I'm also the youngest, so no new siblings. But, my earliest memories are kindergarten, but even moreso first grade.</p> <p>Also, maybe I'm just old and my memory is going :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196056 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 08:10:30 +0000 Mamasig 2196056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Around 3 years old - my 3rd birthday party is a huge memory, my mom pregnant with my brother and his birth, 1st day of pre-k </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196043 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:55:54 +0000 MamaBehr 2196043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was a little older than 2.5 years old, my brother got spinal meningitis and almost died in the hospital. My mother was like 37 weeks pregnant with my sister (what a horrible time, right?!?) and I remember sitting with her in the waiting room, which was under construction, waiting to hear about my brother. I don't really remember my sister being born a few weeks later, but that hospital waiting room I remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196037 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:50:31 +0000 Mamaof2 2196037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kindergarten so around age 5 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196023 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:35:00 +0000 Greentea 2196023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember tons from the first place we lived and we moved when I was 4. I remember pretty much everything about it- even what I did during my days, what I liked to wear, my mom's friend watching us and playing with her two boys. I remember so so much, even details like games we played and what we ate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196021 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:28:40 +0000 cat620 2196021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My first memory is from the age of 3, and it is a rather traumatic event, so that's most likely why I remember it. My husband says he can't remember anything before the age of 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196004 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:14:41 +0000 Mama Bird 2196004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think around 2.5, before my brother was born - like I remember seeing the ocean from my window (you couldn't see it later because a new building had gone up). I also remember being totally clueless what brothers and sisters are, seeing my mom prepping the bottles "for my brother" and assuming he's going to live in them :grin: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2196000 Tue, 02 Jun 2015 07:08:02 +0000 artsyfartsy 2196000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My earliest memories are around 3 years old.

I remember my mom crying because she had fallen down the stairs while carrying me when heavily pregnant and she broke her tailbone. I also remember taking walks with my mom before my brother was born, and reading with her. I remember the day my brother was born and driving somewhere with my dad, I was sitting on his lap in the car and it was raining. I have a lot of clear memories from the preschool years! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2195932 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:55:43 +0000 youboots 2195932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember random things from kindergarten on.

Beyond that I only really remember kindergarden, so 4+. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2195922 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:27:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 2195922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I was 18 months old I fell into a broken box fan and nearly cut my pinkie toe clean off. I have a very clear memory of riding on my mom's lap in the front seat of the car while she was trying to hold the toe on with a towel, and then having to have both my parents plus a nurse hold me down while the doctor tried to sew it back on (I was kicking the doctor). </p> <p>Next memory was of my 3rd birthday party...I got a Big Sister doll. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-far-back-can-you-remember-memories-from-your-childhood#post-2195919 Mon, 01 Jun 2015 23:16:42 +0000 mrsjyw 2195919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have flashes of memories from toddlerhood, 4? 5?

My parents moved to America a year before my brother and I did, so I have very clear memories of living with my aunt and then my grandparents when I was 2-3. </p> <p>In general I have a lot of memories before I was 5 (lots of changes!), so it's crazy for me to think that Charlie and Olive could remember experiences that happen now for the rest of their lives!</p> <p>How far back do your childhood memories go? </p>
