But for four-year-old Emma Suetta, that feeling came early.

The adorable toddler was filmed sat at the family’s kitchen table in floods of tears at the thought of “becoming a grown up”.

Her sympathetic mom Shelly, Scott Valley, California, can be heard asking, “Tell me what’s wrong.”

To which little Emma replies, “I don’t want to turn five. I just want to be a kid like this!”

“Emma was excited for her birthday as it is only in two months time.

“But then she realised she would be turning five and started to cry, saying she doesn’t want to be five, she wants to stay four rather than be a grown up.”
