You can tell me what to wear at home, but not at school." Omg :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turning-5-and-im-a-mess#post-2746531 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 19:30:30 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2746531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Agreed. </p> <p>Preschool graduation (she's going from her preschool of two years to a public TK) was (embarrassingly) more than I could handle! The slideshow with the music with them singing after and the first trimester pregnancy hormones, ugh!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turning-5-and-im-a-mess#post-2746477 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:36:45 +0000 KT326 2746477@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SugarplumsMom: Over the weekend I guess I was being too overbearing while we were at an event and my son turned around with his hands on his hips and says "mom, I'm fine. I can go play by myself". I still see him as this little guy that I needs my constant attention. Not so anymore :sad: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turning-5-and-im-a-mess#post-2746468 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:04:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2746468@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KT326: It's the same for me. I feel like my baby is all grown up, which is silly because she's only 5 :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turning-5-and-im-a-mess#post-2746467 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 17:03:01 +0000 KT326 2746467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine turned 5 in March, I was fine then. But now that we are getting closer to kindergarten in August and I'm over here crying about where my baby went! He's turned into such a big boy over the last year, he doesn't need me as much anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/turning-5-and-im-a-mess#post-2746464 Mon, 12 Jun 2017 16:58:44 +0000 SugarplumsMom 2746464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DD is turning 5 soon and I'm sitting here crying my eyes out watching old videos of her. I can't believe she's grown so much! How do they grow so fast? </p> <p>I'm normally not this sentimental, but I just can't seem to help it this year. Anyone else in the same boat? What is it about turning 5 that's so bittersweet? </p>
