I was so scared that when she took me to my teacher I stayed in the back of the room. And had to be coaxed to sit on the rug with all the other students. Sad memory, I know.

Originally Posted By LuLu I have a couple memories from early grade school. I remember my 2nd grade teacher, she gave me some much-needed confidence. I remember being on the "catwalk" (like an indoor "bridge") in that school, probably because I have acrophobia (didn't know that then). I remember being tripped and laughed at by a boy. You always remember the things that caused strong emotions!
Originally Posted By mickeymeg I remember when we were out for the weekend on our boat and we got caught in a storm.

I must have been between 3 1/2 or 4 as I am told my brother and sister were there in their baby seats though I seem to have blocked any memory of them from this outing =)
Originally Posted By Tiggirl I remember being about 2 or 3 and my aunt took me to visit a friend of hers. He had a bean bag chair and I was fasinated with it.

I usually tried something out first before thinking of what might happen. Some day I'll tell you the story of how I was bit by a snake all because I was curious. ;o) ~Beth
Originally Posted By Ursula I remember being in the highchair in the kitchen and spilling orange juice all over the tray. And then someone getting mad, either mom or dad. I have very clear memories of our first kitchen, I guess I must have spent a lot of time there.
Originally Posted By officerminnie I remember the field trip we took in Pre-School when I was 3. It was to the Nalley's plant where they make potato chips and I remember the smell of the hot grease making me sick to my stomach. Fond memories, yes?
Originally Posted By alexbook I have a few clear memories from age two: - Being bundled off to a neighbor's house in the middle of the night when Dad took Mom to the hospital to have my baby brother. - Being in the back seat of a car and the door next to me flying open as went round a curve, and somebody (my grandma, I think) reaching past me to slam the door shut. (No seatbelts, remember!) - Learning that we were "Jews" and other people weren't and that was why I should thank the neighbor who hid candy for me instead of thanking something called the "Easter Bunny" that didn't really exist.

Originally Posted By MomofPrincess I remember being carried up the stairs by my much older (20 years older) sister. It was in the townhome where we lived, and I couldn't have been more than 2 because we moved to Buena Park before I turned 3. I also remember watching my mom - through the sliding glass door in that place - garden out in the tiny backyard, and I remember my dad giving me rides around the driveway in our wheelbarrow. I also remember older kids rifling through a dumpster in the alleyway finding huge multi-packs of SALT that had been disposed of there. Weird to think I can remember back that far.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros Dalmatians!!! (Sorry, I thought that was nessecary, as it is #101) My first memory is from my first day at the new preschool. The ones that I went to worked together, and when you were fully potty trained, you moved to a different one, so I was probably around 1 and a halfish? (I'm not really sure, since I've never had the joy of trying to potty train a child) I remember later on saying the date every year, including the year, and I know that I was no older than 2. Anyway, my parents dropped me off, and I really didn't want to be there, so I cried for a really long time (new place, new people, all of which seemed scary to me). So, one of the nice teachers who was working on repainting the cubbies let me help her peel off the old paint in the hall area (it was really like a huge room with other rooms off of it). I slowly became more comfortable there, and I think I ended up with everybody else by the end of the day. It was just not a very happy experience. And mele, I literally laughed for more than a minute after reading that. There's just something about the subject matter and the wording that is making me crack up, even as I'm writing all this.

I remember being in my crib and thinking the Wicked Witch was coming up the stairs. I remember sleeping in a real bed with guard rails for the firs time. I got a new bedroom set. It was that popular look back then....the furniture was like a cream color with little specks on it. Anyone remember what I mean? Anyway, when the lights went out I thought the little specks started moving and told my mother there were bugs everywhere!
Originally Posted By beamerdog When I was three I remember walking up some very long white painted steps near a street at a beach house. I always thought that I made this memory up until I told it to my mom once day and she almost fell over backwards. We stayed at a beach house that year with those steps! Everthing after that is mostly a jumble.
