What's the earliest memory of your life that you remember?

I have a very unusual ability to recall my younger days. I remember helping come up with names for my brother who was born before I turned 2 years old. I even remember the names I suggested: Giraffe or Sunshine. Once an adult, childhood amnesia usually limits our memories earlier than 4 or 5 years old.

Is that even possible? I mean I'm not calling you a liar but I have a really difficult time believing that people can recall memories from when they were 2. Maybe it's possible but it just doesn't sink my brain on a personal level.

I developed very quickly at an early age.  When I was 2, I was giving my grandparents driving directions to places they didn't know how to get to.   This part I don't remember actually doing but have been told by different family members.  

Most of my good recall was when I was 3.   I remember a lot of that more vividly than what I had for dinner all last week.   I didn't know my early recall was unusual until I got older.  I'd ask a family member about something I remebered and they'd look at me all funny and ask, 'You remember that?"  And the I'd be puzzled that they'd wonder why I rememberd it.
