How old were you when you first knew your age?

I was about 4.

I was 4 from what I can remember.

i remember my third birthday and i knew i was 3. i dont think i knew before that.

3, or "This many". *holds up 3 fingers*

When I was 2.

I remember my mother used to ask me how old I was and I would hold up two fingers and say "two this much".

Um I dont really remember, but I think I didn't really realize my age until I was about 6, anything before that I was in my own world, didnt care for much at all!

I was six when I knew my age. I can remember before I get birthdays on occasion and I never knew why I was given a cake and candles to blow out and then there be presents for me to open. I always loved it. I can remember having my 5th birthday at school but I still never knew my age even though my mother would hold up five fingers and tell me I am five. I never understood it. I can remember five being my favorite number so I always wanted five everything. I can remember asking for 5 cookies and my mother told me she was going to give me six because that is how old I was going to be soon. I didn't understand ages till I was six. That was when I learned everyone had a number. I used to ask my mother all the time how old she is, my Dad my brothers, my friends. I guess it was thanks to my teacher. She taught me everyone has ages and she ask us all how old we are and I can remember feeling left out because lot of kids in my group were seven and I was only six. Then one day, a girl's age changed to seven because she started saying that's how old she is. I still had to say I was six because I was told that's how old I am.

For me it is 2. I have memories of being 2.. such as sitting on a sun lounger with my father. I also remember my 3rd birthday, and vaguely remember the party.

I was 4.

The first birthday I remember is my 4th.

I remember lots of stuff that happened before I was 5, but the first birthday i remember was my 5th, and i don't recall being conscious of the concept of my age before then.

At least 2 1/2, because we have a home movie of me putting on a little skit for my parents at that age, and on the video, one of my parents asked me how old I was, and I replied enthusiastically, holding two fingers in the air, "Two and a half!" (The half was very important to me.) I also vaguely remember my third birthday party, and my fourth a lot better, so I definitely knew when it was my birthday, but it could have been younger than that, I don't remember far enough back to know.

I literally remember thinking "I am 4, my sister is 2 and a half"

I'd say five, because from that time is my oldest continues memories. I have memories from before that, but there are very disconnected. So I doubt I had much concept of time or age before age five. I think I was having a lot deja vu at that time and realizing that my birthday was not a one time event. They just kept on coming.

Six

I remember knowing that I was 4, but I don't recall if I knew at earlier ages how old I was.
