Mine started when I was, say, 3 years old. Got a vague memory of being left to a babysitter cause my dad was doing something. I was probably put in the bedroom to sleep for awhile, but to me it was naturally like being locked in a closet. Then I remember dad coming back and us going to Burger King.
Most of my memories involve, surprise surprise, television. Which was how I dated my earliest memories to be 1980, when I was three. Parts of Saturday AM at the time, but mostly game shows. Long before GSN, Buzzr, or tape trading, I did have memories of: Blockbusters, Whew!, Woolery Wheel of Fortune, High Rollers, To Tell The Truth '80, Las Vegas Gambit, and others.
Here's something really odd...Password Plus was another show I could still envision from then (till of course I saw full episodes via GSN) and one part was really eerie. For I THINK I remember seeing the way the last four weeks of Allen Ludden's run on the show ended. As you recall, he did come back from stomach cancer, but then his illness caught up with him again and he had to retire. There were four weeks of PW+ with Allen left to run, so NBC did, but put a disclaimer over his entrance explaining his condition. Soon after, Tom Kennedy would take over as host for the rest of the show's run. I am almost certain that I remember 3-year-old me seeing episodes with the announcement, then when Tom took over, and feeling weird about it.

I’ve seen my picture from pre-school yet I have zero memory of any of it. However I clearly remember my first day of kindergarten. Many kids were crying and I didn’t understand why. I was just excited to be there. It was like some kind of adventure to me. I have other memories from around that time but I’m not entirely sure when they’re from.

I want to say my earliest memory is when I was about 2 and my mom was holding my hand as we walked to the car
3 and 4 I remember stuff after that cause I was in pre school so Power Rangers is on in 94 and they let us play running around and shit. Me and some girl is play fighting and she front kicks me in the face and all I remember is looking up at the lights lol
I remember when they gave us an introduction for Kindergarten and had us (parents and kids) in a cafeteria and then we got on the bus to see the routes for the school bus. When we came back to the cafe, they had gingerbread men for us in the clothes we were wearing. I had blue overalls on

Around age three or four, being dragged to a photo shoot at Sears I wasn’t in the mood for. The photo turned out nice, but I recall wanting to go home and get some Kool Aid.

falling over the top step on the stairs at home (trying to pick up a toy car from the second to top step.) and rolling all the way down stairs and bouncing off the wall at the bottom and my mum panicking until realising I was ok apart from a headache from head meeting wall. that was when I was 2 or 3, which I know because 3 onwards I lived in a pub for the next 9ish years.
one thing I dont remember is running into a corner of a low table which has left a small but visible dent to the side of my forehead. didnt even notice it until I was in my early 30's. (asked my mum about it "I should have taken you to hospital with that as it was a nasty cut." but that was round about the same time and that was in the early 80's.

i told my mom a few years ago my earliest memory. i climbed out of my crib and went downstairs to the kitchen, and my grandma picked me up and put me back to bed. mom figured if grandma (her mom) was putting me to bed, her and dad were probably in france. they went in 1989 before my 2nd birthday, so i was just about two.

I remember the day I got booster shots around two years old. I don't remember crying, but I remembercry breathing because the shots hurt. My mom was bouncing her legs up and down while I was on her lap getting the shots. I also remember that it was a rainy day.

I was about 3 or 4 when me and my parents moved from Louisiana to Georgia and the only thing I remember about that ride was going through a tunnel.
