My very first memory of anything is sitting on cold hard marble during my aunt and uncle's wedding where I was the flower girl. I was just 3 years old. We were waiting for the ceremony to start and I was sitting on a cold hard marble feeling it on my bare legs wearing a super short frilly dress waiting to get up and walk down the aisle. My very next memory is walking down the aisle and hearing and seeing people ohh and aww as I walked down that aisle. I remember thinking eww stop looking at me everyone.
What is your first memory?
Missy, your mom's hairdo is a delight! A real 1960s confection. She is gorgeous. And you and sis were darling!
Missy, what a gorgeous, glamorous family you have!
A dog running around my backyard (I was just about 2.5). When I told my Mom about it she was shocked, we only had the dog for about 2 weeks before she actually choked on something and died. She was a doberman and her name was Gertrude.
Falling off the step and cracking my skull the first time I was 3
I remember the fall the thunk. blood everywhere then nada.
I still have a dent in my skull from it and the second time a year later.
My first birthday. I received 2 teddy bears from my aunt - one small and white and one larger and brown. I was sitting in my high chair next to the window in our dining room. I remember nothing else from that day, but I remember that!
I don't know what happened to the white bear, but the brown bear was called Kippy. I had him for years and he sat on my bed every day till I was about 16. I dont know where he went in the end (I think he burst) - but oh! how I loved him!
Probably my McDonald's birthday party. I was 3, I think. I had a purple velvet dress with a big lace collar and white tights. I remember the outfit clearly.
My biological father actually came and I remember him yelling because someone dropped a hamburger, getting really mad and leaving. I also remember that he took the cake with him when he left.
We lived in an old two story house, with a window at the top of the stairs that looked out into the back yard. I was maybe 4?
I remember looking out of that window at my Fisher Price clock laying in the grass in the rain. I was worried that it was getting wet.
Recently, my sister found one of these at a thrift store and gave it to me....c. 1968
oh this is much nicer than the other thread
it was so sad
i remember my 3rd birthday
grandma and grandad came for birthday tea
we never had huge birthday parties for toddlers when i was a kid
anyway i completly destroyed the cake with my hands so mum put the candles in the jelly and i destroyed that too !
so much fun !
i also remember playing with dad's doves in the kitchen of all places
my dad was in the magic circle and he used to keep a few doves way before my sister was born
and i remember the house getting rough cast (stucco) i was nude playing in the empty pond (mum and dad had a big fish pond for dad's model boats) with the hose on
all good memories
I remember my grandma letting me eating super sweet and yummy condensed milk out of a can with a big spoon. She also let me eat butter (margarine) from a tub! I was probably around 3 and she'd let me have anything I wanted because I was a bratty kid and would kick and scream if I didn't get what I wanted. My mom told me that grandma also boiled me a dozen hard-boiled eggs one day, which I ate between lunch and dinner....I don't remember that day though, my mom told me about the eggs.

Ah yes he is right.Ugh that is not a great memory but I am glad you survived it. I also remember most of my klutzy accidents that I still bear the scars from...my dh says that's what shows we have lived an interesting life. All our physical scars.
