    I can remember sitting on the ground in my aunties flat, playing with coloured wooden blocks and with lego. Would have been maybe 1 and a half years old. Remember my mother coming back to the house and lifting me off the ground from the blocks and leaving the place with me!

    So, what about you's bastards?

    I remember my 4th birthday. I got a huge (probably not that big) cylindrical box of bricks. I remember the bedroom I was in, the bed was against the window, I used to stand on the bed and look outside. Don't think I have an earlier memory...

    The black flags outside my neighbours' homes during the hunger strikes. I was fascinated by these people and this world. Followed by watching armed and masked men on tv firing shots over graves and the massive, massive crowd and talk when Bobby Sands died and everybody hating a certain woman. A fascinating secret world for a child to take in.

    Sitting in a highchair in my grandparents' kitchen wearing a bib and eating a Smarties Easter egg broken up into little bits in a plastic bowl. Remember trying to take the bib off and getting the bowl taken away from me!:(

    I remember being 2 weeks old and my great Grandmother holding me. She passed away shortly after and this was the only time I saw her. I can still remember this clearly, which is very odd.

    Being in Trabolgan when I was 4 or 5 and they had a wave maker and slide.

    Back in the days when people stayed in Ireland on their holidays and walked around in the rain wearing shorts.

    That and running around the Dalkey Hotel (which isn't there anymore) screaming my head and being told not to drink coke because it made me hyper.

    I got a lego set for xmas when I was 4.5 and I'm pretty sure I have no date specific memories before that point.

    My earliest memory is trying on every pair of shoes in Dunnes Stores and running around like a lunatic in each testing which ones were the 'fastest'. I had to have full confidence in my choice

    I can remember being given a bath in the kitchen sink. I think I was around 17 at the time :p

    I remember taking the bars out of my cot because I wanted to escape. When I finally did my mam woke up and put me back in. I was so close to freedom :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭DevilsBreath


    Can remember sliding down the banisters in my nappy at about 1.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,181 ✭✭✭LouOB


    Remember my mother making me give up my soother at christmas time
    Santa would take the soother and give to poor babies in Africa - -bless
    Then my mother did the same trick to my other sister in later years

    Your earliest memory is last week? I'd get that checked out if I were you :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,195 ✭✭✭✭Michellenman


    I remember walking down the really narrow hall in my granny's house and down the little step at the end. They got an extension just before I turned two so it would've been when I was one and a half I'd say.

    You weren't able to jump out? I was a cot escape expert. Aparently the trick is to land on your nappy, not on your head...

    Apparently I escaped from a cot when I was 2years old..
    I was proud of myself when I heard about it.

    made my way to the kitchen too, and ate jelly.

    you must have been a lanky baby to straddle the banisters!

    Towards the end of my cot days, I used to jump out every morning. My mum said she used to hear a loud bang and pray I hadn't cracked my head....but she left me do it for weeks and weeks before they moved me out of the cot..

    My earliest memory is crawling along on the floor, being picked up by my Dad and then examining some spots on my Dad's face. I wasn't old enough to walk so I was probably less than a year old.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,469 ✭✭✭weeder


    have 3 that really stick out for me, first one is at some point when i was still in nappies at some point, dont think i could talk and beinglaid down on the kitchen table and having my nice warm nappy removed :(, then i heard my brother going awh theres bits of cheese in it :pac:

    im not sure what order the other 2 happened in but one of them was standing in our front door with my other siblings watching an ambulance taking da away:(

    the last one is still one of my proudest moments I think i was 3, wasnt long out of nappies anyway, we were at my brothers sports day anyway and i needed a slash,so i went under the table and pissed on the shoes of the man who would later become my primary school principal :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,252 ✭✭✭norwegianwood


    Falling down the stairs when I was about 3......first time of many:o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,330 ✭✭✭niallon


    Maybe a slightly depressing sign of things to come but I can distinctly remember my brother completing Super Mario Bros on the Nes which as far as I recall was around about 90/91 making me between 2 and 3. He got to the final level and had to leave it on all night because it was about midnight and it couldn't save! :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,629 ✭✭✭Adiboo


    Earliest memory I have is from when I was living in Canada. I was holding my nan's hand walking up the steps to the front porch of our house, and I asked her how old I was. She said I was 3.

    I miss my nan.

    During the snowy winters of Canada, she used to pull me to school, which was down the street from our house, on a Teenage Mutant Ninja (NOT HERO!!) Turtles sled.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,467 ✭✭✭shenanigans1982


    Remember grabbing the hand rail of an escalator and being carried up along the outside of it. Looking down at the ground it seemed like I was a good bit up but probably wasn't, I let go and dropped onto an empty pram. Think I was about 3.

    Also have a memory of being in Tramore with my family and my sister coming down the steps of a caravan and falling under the caravan and I just sat there laughing, not sure which was earlier though.
