    Default My *baby* is FIVE today!

    I cannot believe she is 5, really where did five years go? Its such a great age, everything is so new through their eyes. However Mama is having baby-girl withdrawals! Four is still "little", but five is big-girl, wah!

    Oh well, I can carry around the cat and rock it

    I am *right* behind you! DD is 5 at the end of this month, and you are so right; 5 is not a baby anymore! Just this month, she lost the last of her baby-can't-pronounce-"th" words and all the other cutsies that made her my baby. She's headed for K in the fall and I am dreading it and loving it at the same time. I miss my baby! (not enough to have another one; but I understand the urge...)

    I'm having the same withdrawals, and my DDs are only 3 turning 4! They just seem so much older now. I miss their cute little toddlerhood. Pre-schoolers seem so grown up! When they go to K next year, I will lose it. Happy birthday to your baby girl!

    oh my goodness-- i just told dh that "i don't want lucy to turn 5 and loose all her imagination!" he rolled his eyes at me...but 5? it's just too big.

    of course, just last week he told this same child he wanted to "put her on pause because she's growing up to fast" -- so yeah, we get it

    (happy birthday to your baby!)

    DD just turned five almost 2 weeks ago, so I know exactly what you mean! Loving this age and missing my baby at the same time.

    I know how you feel. My BABY just turned 7 on Friday and we've had a fun filled weekend.... but I have been on a roller coaster emotionally. I love watching my kids grow and develop into their own wonderful selves but man what I wouldn't do just to have my boys as a toddler/preschooler again, even just for a day.

    Happy Birthday to your little girl!
