Too late to ask him again now. Where there are photos it's hard to claim you are remembering the actual event unless the photo triggers off other memories. But you can't photograph internal thoughts and feelings, and if we haven't talked about them (e.g. because they are a bit embarrassing as here) then they may be impressions (rather than clear memories) of real experiences.

I have hardly any early memories at all - I think I remember my 3rd birthday but I could just be from looking at that particular photo throughout my childhood. What I think is that if memories are reinforced perhaps they last - I remember posing for the photo and then seeing the photo afterwards when it was developed maybe helped the memory stick.<br /><br />My kids are 6 and 2 and it does make me feel sad that they'll barely remember anything we've all done together so far.Estellehttp://www.skittishlibrary.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
