    Not normal. I read somewhere that you don't fully develop the ability to remember until age 4. However, I've heard of people who can remember stuff from when they were two. If anything, I don't this is a bad thing.

  • It's a good thing. Large gaps in memories of childhood are said to be the result of trauma and sadness.

    I only remember bad things, like when I smashed my finger in a door and the other time when I cracked my forehead open but other than those, I can't remember like anything from be fore I was like 9 or 10... I really need to lay off the drugs... oh who am I kidding? I'll never lay off :)

    I have very few memories from when I was two- I mostly remember my second birthday, though. Probably the earliest thing I remember.

    most people won't believe me, and most people don't...but i remember my birth. i remember the doctors face and two nurses. i told my mom my memory of this when i was 6 years old. i told her there was a bunch of blue around and two nurses on the side of my mom and the doctor in the middle. i described my doctors face to her. i told her he had a mustache and was brown skinned. she was shocked. but i honestly remember my birth.

But I can remember a bat in the attic when I was 4 and in kindergarden I remember crying cause I didn't want my mom to leave then meeting my first crush her name was niomi and she was so pretty to me I stopped crying when I saw her and was embarresd that she saw me cry

    I have the exact same thing, I can still remember dreams I had when I was a little one, I can remember my kindergarten and the way it smelt. I have so many memories from before 5 :)
