childhood

i think when i started to remember think about age 4 , so thats when i was in kindergarden or preschool idk , whatever grade i was in its all a blur like its that memory and then it jumps straights to Christmas when i got a Pee Wee Hurman doll with a pully string ..weird i know

It's funny I have scattered memories of things that happened when I was a small child but I think most of those are from my family telling stories about those experiences. My first memory where I can conjure up a picture of the event isn't until about 5th grade, so what is that like 10 or 11. From there my memories get clearer and I can recall things that nobody has previously told me about. I know that as a younger child I had some very stressful experiences that may have caused me to block out certain periods of time.

Sometimes I feel like im lucky if i cant remeber last year and im not getting that old yet. I dont remeber much from my childhood bits and peices mostly.

I remember waking up on my third birthday and having no memories of events before that...even my sister's birthday the very day before. I knew my house and I knew my family but I could not remember anything that I'd done or that had happened. It was like I had truly "woken up".

My earliest memory is from when I was three years old, I had to go and have an operation on my eye and I remember everything going there waking up from it not being able to see at all and then my mum giving my peas for my tea lol I couldnt see and she gave me peas! I reminded her of that not so long ago she said she never even realised lol.
