My first memory is from the age of 2… wearing ‘romper stompers’ and trying to walk down the sidewalk. They are upside-down small buckets or pails with a plastic wire attached. You put one foot on each bucket and hold on to the wire and try to walk. We have no photos, so I think this one is really me. Strangely, I remember sooo many things from my childhood and my sisters remember nothing. They accuse me of stealing their memory… My daughter still remembers things from when she was two and she is 6 now, but I wonder how vivid they will stay…

What about memories of before being born? Or of life before this one?
Hope you enjoyed Pl.Hoche, Petite!

Sorry, I just realised that that last comment made no sense in english… I meant do you know which sense has the longest lasting memory? je suis fou!

It’s an interesting subject…and do you know what the longest lasting sense of the 5 senses is? Olfactory (smell). We remember smells a lot longer than things we see, hear, taste, or touch. Just thought I’d throw that one in!

it’s funny what gets remembered. My parents moved abroad last year and so we were all called to empty their loft of our belongings. As children my siblings and I made scrapbook style diaries of our holidays, but the content rarely gives much indication of where we were or what we did. My diaries revolve around mealtimes and my sister’s around toilet stops and her attire. And those are the things we both remember most vividly now.
