I can't find you!!!

Here lately Grace has been quite clingy. I don't know if it is an age thing or if it is because she is having to share my attention with Maika. I am actually enjoying it just a bit, especially since I know it is a phase she will soon grow out of.

Almost every time I leave her sight, she starts crying and running all over looking for me. She wails, "Don't leave me. I look for you. I can't find you." After we are reunited, I usually hold her for about 5 minutes while she hugs me and tells me over and over, "Don't leave me. I love you." How sweet (and a little sad) is that??

She is spontaneously telling me she loves me now...which I enjoy immensely. The other night I was leaving her room at bed time and she called out, "Mama, I love you so much."

Is it possible to love someone so much you think your heart will burst from it - only to fall a little more in love with them 3 more times the next day? I think it must be - because I love her more every time I see her.

Yes, even when she is clingy and bossy and yelling and interrupting me. Even when she is crabby and naughty and crying. I love her more and more and more.
