I still hang out with many people I've known since I was 2/3. Seeing them basically every day at school for ~11 years helped keep those memories of when we were 2/3 fresh, I think. Seeing them now again The result is similar - I have very good memories of being 2-6, but for almost the opposite reason as you it seems. My childhood was incredibly continuous and yours was discontinuous. Maybe we're both flukes...
