Same. I'm always kind of shocked when people don't. My wife hardly remembers anything before she was 8.
We moved a couple months before I turned three and I have a bunch of memories that predate that. I remember being potty trained and lying to my parents about it so I could get a treat. I remember my dad coming home from the family farm and having injured his hand on some machinery. I remember stealing a pack of orange gum from the grocery store and chewing it all up underneath the piano in our basement. I could keep going and going.
My earliest memory was before I was two. Somewhere around 19-20 months. I know this because I had an ear infection and that's when it occurred. I'm sitting in my crib, crying due to the pain in my ear, and screaming "mom" at the door in the room. The room is mostly dark, but the door has been left open a crack to let in a little bit of light. From my vantage, looking through the slats in the crib, the door is open on the left. My mom comes in once, finally, and then leaves.
I also feel like I have an earlier one, being carried in a room which may have been my nursery, looking down on a changing table. I'm pretty sure I'm being held by my father, but I can't say for certain that this is real.
