Your First Childhood Memory

I was watching a black and white TV show that had a man standing next to a TV.  Inside that television was a man standing next to a TV.  And inside that one was a man standing next to a TV.  The images continued until they were too small to see.

When I awoke from this dream, I peered through the crib bars and saw my mother walking in to my bedroom.  She leaned over the railing and began to pick me up.

This is my first childhood memory.

Is it possible that this event really happened?  Can you truly remember something from such a young age?  I honestly believe this was a real moment in my early life. 

I don’t have any other early memories.  Most of my “childhood memories” begin when I was around three or four.

I’m curious.  What is the earliest memory you have?  Was it pre-school age?  Toddler age?  Or even before that like my own first memory?
