In reply to the discussion: What's the only thing you can't recall in life [View all]SheilaT
(23,156 posts)56. My earliest memories go back to shortly before I was two.
I recall falling down stairs, knocking out a tooth. About a month later I apparently climbed out of my crib (this part I don't recall) and fell, chipping the bone on my elbow. What I do recall is wearing a sling, my sister trying to talk me into giving it to her ("No", I told her, "Mommy said not to."
-- and more than fifty years later talking about the incident in front of the sister and she remembered it EXACTLY as I had. I also recall, connected to that, being at the doctor's and waving bye-bye. All this shortly before my second birthday.
