Yes
I am curious to see how far back people remember.

I am cursed in that I have a terrible memory for my childhood, but i shall think on it.
 
My parents held a party, and one of their friends kids put something down the toilet and promptly flooded the bathroom :D

From when I was about 4 I believe :D

My memory is carp for some things (names, places etc..) but really good for other things like.......... Sorry, forgot what I was going to say :nuts:
 
I can honestly remember being 2 years old in a caravan in hayling island when i sat on a potty-no lies
 
Taking a snooze in my pram outside the back door when a cat jumped onto the pram apron.
I was fascinated but my Mum went ballistic and I couldn't understand why. The cat soon shifted when it saw my Mum.
I wanted the cat. :'(
I was 13 months old according to my Mum.
 
My 1st childhood memory is when I was two, I had to go into hospital for an eye operation, I can remember being bought a toy train which I threw at the wall and a massive carrot which I ate to make my eyesight better :D
 
My 1st memory, me getting a rubber spiderman figure with plastic sucky pads on his hands and feet, and a white elasticated string with a plastic hoop on the end. Same day, a game called Bing Bang Boing,

I must have been 3 or so.

A crappy 256mb Dixon's compact flash that was thrown in with my 350D. :cuckoo::bang:
 
Sitting on the stairs having a paddy because I wasn't allowed to watch Play School: I think I was about 4ish......
 
No body ever believes me but
Lying in a cot on a beach in Jersey with the dog undeneath the cot.

Age 6 months
 
I can remember being about 4 and playing with a toy boat my dad made for me in the boating lake in Paignton :D
It was a lovely boat:thumbs:
 
Going with my Dad to choose our (my) first dog, sitting with him on my lap on the way home and then being told to put him down as he could walk by himself when I wanted to carry him into the house - I was two.

However I cannot remember trying to drown my new baby brother at around the same time - Mum left him on the floor next to the bath while she went to get something and apparently I was being helpful and put him in and washed him.

:lol::lol:

Siblings are always good fun :thumbs:
 
Asking my Mum which hole babies came out of - I was on the landing of our old house, just outside my parents bedroom. Can't have been much more than 3 at the time, I would guess.

Still don't know that answer...:shrug: Should maybe ask my wife, as we have 2 kids ourselves...:help:
 
Christmas Eve, when I was 17 months old. I was so excited and hyper about Santa coming that my parents decided to Mickey Finn my bedtime milk with brandy. I recall the label with absolute clarity and have a precise image of the mug it was poured into. My folks still have that mug, and, in all probability, that very half bottle of brandy. I must ask them.

The brandy didn't have the desired sedative effect and I can still remember the hoots of laughter from my parents as I rolled around the floor of the drawing room, drunk.

I was already a fairly accomplished reader at that age which probably accounts for the fact that I'm able to remember such early occurrences.
 
I remember one thing when I was a toddler.................burying my tortoise alive.
Don't ask me why:shrug:, and no I have not grown up into into some mad psychopath:D.
 
I remeber things like playing with my fave teddy and some flashes of potty training but that only takes me back to about 2 - 6 months, wow thats crazy, I wonder what it feels like to remember that far back!

Shame I can't remember where I left my keys...
 
My fear of dogs comes from the time a large Bouvier bounded over to my pram and barked at me... which I still remember. I was about 2 or 3. Also, sucking on pebbles I found on a lake shore during a family holiday at about the same age.
 
Smacking my head straight into a lamp post! No joke!

I was about 2 or 3 but all I remember is the bit just after the bang; my mum quickly making sure I was OK but I don't remember the pain. It's almost like the bang was actually me waking up in the world lol!
 
Being in isolation hospital when I was 8 months old. My parents were sitting the other side of a glass screen and weren't allowed to touch me; I remember being very upset. I'm not sure what was wrong with me, something like diphtheria I think.
 
Our family was in Greece on hols, and I remember 2 old ladies sat in the hotel lobby, one of the ladies gave my sister a small knitted doll, and gave me something, other than a small knitted doll (I cant remember what) but that same holiday, the hotel kitchen caught fire and we were all evacuated.

I was 3 or 4 years old.
