early memories

[luvs]

some OT stuff- have yinz got early-on sweeeet memories.......
now, my Mom says i cannot remember this. i countered that i distinctively remember- i luved those shoes & would wear them today. if they fit.

my bro remembered 'em, too.

this began due to a discussion over raynin's mary jane's & my Mom saying i was 18 mos. when i took my 1st steps, whereas my niece was barely 10 months. (how i dote on that precious baby-luv!)

conversation turned to how old i was before my Mom got me sneakers rather than those old shoes u used to bronze; i was just too teeny to stroll @ a normal age. too spindly. doctor said i'd make my own way in my own time.

so she said she bought me shoes- strawberry shortcakes shoes. i went on to describe them, & my brother agreed/emphasized- pastel pink canvas, w/ her emblem on the sides, velcro, & she said i could not remember those shoes. um, yeah. u can remember shoes before u hit 1 & 1/2. geez, i remember my first blanky, birth gift pillow, my portable crib, my earrings & jeans & duckie & dresses & carseat & cups & i remember learning to read sans pre-school.

anyone else wanna offer thier 1st memories of the good stuff~

food, non-food, anything.......

Hmmm, well I was probably 3 years old and I remember sitting at the top of the stairs in my house, and my mother coming up the stairs with what I thought was a hypodermic needle. I was terrified and crying (screaming, to be honest).

She was holding an oral thermometer and just wanted to take my temperature.

I think that is my earliest memory.

My earliest memory is when I was 4 years old. We had a large white, german shepard dog in the back yard and this dog would run all over the yard like a horse with me on his back. Then one day I fell off and hit my lower lip on a rock that broke the skin just below my lip and I can remember sitting on the table at the doctors office having stitches put in. 4 stitches to be exact.

When I was REALLY short, I remember walking into a hydrant and cutting my eyelid on it.

My mother put a red band-aid on the cut. Everyone made a big deal about my injury and what a brave girl I was - I felt like a war hero.

Maybe that's how people develop hypochondria.
