What are your earliest memories?

So my earliest memory had to have been from when I was 18 months old or younger. We were still living in Queensland and we had a steep driveway. I had a plastic tricycle that dad would let me roll down the driveway. I also have some other vague memories of swimming in a wheelie bin because it was hot.
I have random memories as early as 6-7 years old. However can’t remember much of high school and that was 10 years + (ouch that hurts, feeling a bit old).
But I find overall I have a bad memory. Especially versus many who remember vividly their childhoods. I remember events, specific events really, but not in great detail.

My earliest is playing on the floor with a toy helicopter when I was 2 or 3 and mispronouncing the word "helicopter" as "heli-cocker," which caused family and neighbors who were there to burst out laughing and talk about it. I guess that's why it imprinted as a memory and might actually be why I took to being funny. Like it was instilled at that early age that being funny was approved of and got attention. Just guessing.
I don't know what's real or not. I picture myself but I'm thinking it's just me picturing myself as I know I should look from seeing pictures and stuff. The science behind memories before the age of 3 or 4 is actually very interesting. We aren't able to remember much if anything at all from before that. No one has really pin pointed why.
The first thing I can truly remember is bouncing a basketball outside of a laundromat around 4 and a bird flew into the window and landed dead right next to me. I don't think it was traumatic at all but I can vividly remember that

I remember fracturing my arm between the ages of 1 and 2 by falling from a high chair. I just remember a hospital room with a blue floor when I was being put in a cast.
I remember getting a white train birthday cake for my second birthday.
As far as years where events were smushed together and felt like a blur, 2014 until today is probably an era I'll forget in the next decade, depending on how things go.
Otherwise, I have a ridiculous selective memory. I can remember names and seating arrangements dating back to elementary school. Random shit like that which has no use for me now.
