I'm happy the transition went so smoothly, and it was time. But I miss having her right next to me and she seems so grown up sleeping in her own room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431515 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 16:43:07 +0000 lamariniere 2431515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: I mailed our kindergarten app this week! :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431346 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:29:35 +0000 Bubbles 2431346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not at the minute, I am in complete denial and still call my 2 year old 'the baby'. But seeing a pair of his trousers on the line next to a newborn sleeper today made him seem pretty big! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431307 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 15:12:20 +0000 MenagerieMama 2431307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Yeah he was at a grand rounds I went to as a medical student and ended up sitting by him! I guess he was local and liked to go to grand rounds and such to keep his mind active. Random things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431239 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:48:03 +0000 Mamaof2 2431239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MenagerieMama: oh how cool is that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431235 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:43:01 +0000 MenagerieMama 2431235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Mr Yuck! I met the doc who designed those before he died. He was the sweetest old man who always kept some of those stickers in his breast pocket :) Also my mom had them on everything when we were kids too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431158 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:14:02 +0000 Boogs 2431158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never heard of Mr. Yuk!</p> <p>Signing my oldest up for kindergarten. 😩 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431150 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 14:12:28 +0000 ElbieKay 2431150@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is almost 2. He is pretty verbal for his age, and he knows a lot of songs. I usually sing a particular song when I am rocking him to sleep -- it's the song "Feed the Birds" from Mary Poppins -- and have never heard him sing it. Last night he busted out and sang two full verses and didn't miss a single word. I guess he is paying attention, even when he's falling asleep!</p> <p>We are on the cusp of potty training, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2431043 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 13:28:50 +0000 T-Mom 2431043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: Yeah.. she did it... I was kind of horrified and impressed at the same time that she would take that upon herself to do it for him. My DS is still working on doing a good job on that... yuck.</p> <p>Mr. Yuk! I remember that from my childhood! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430960 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:44:21 +0000 regberadaisy 2430960@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: haha I've never seen that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430958 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:43:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2430958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: WHAT??? He has been around for ages! If you see a Mr Yuck sticker on something it means to stay away! </p> [attach=4342/16/o1bd99.600x337.fd3c96bbd772616199879b97802a4e09.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430949 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 12:40:14 +0000 regberadaisy 2430949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: who's Mr Yuck?

She's a December baby, so she starts on the early side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430840 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:47:59 +0000 artsyfartsy 2430840@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: omg I can't imagine!</p> <p>T will turn 2 exactly one month from today. He's getting a big boy bed for his birthday and we're also about to start introducing the potty. I'm looking forward to being diaper free and converting his room into a big boy room instead of a nursery...but I'm so sad!</p> <p>How can you be so excited to have a big boy and miss your baby at the same time? :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430813 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:31:37 +0000 Mamaof2 2430813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tinyperson: ah yes that is a big one!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430812 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:31:07 +0000 tinyperson 2430812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked up a kindergarten registration package today :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/kids-grow-up-so-fast#post-2430808 Thu, 21 Jan 2016 11:29:57 +0000 Mamaof2 2430808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We took off all of the child locks on the cabinets last night - they are a pain in the butt to me and the kids (almost 5 and 7) could open them anyway so we took them off and they both know about "Mr. Yuck"</p> <p>Wow - made me definitely feel like my kids kinda grew over night!</p> <p>Have you made any changes lately that are making you think about how fast they grow?</p> <p>No more diapers?<br /> No more cribs?<br /> No more strollers? </p>
