I feel like I should enjoy the fact that my little girl enjoys being with me. And I do. I really really do. I love that I'm her best friend and I love that she adores me and wants to be just like me.

But I wish she would get out of my space once in a while!!!

She spends most of her day touching me. I have to BEG her to get out from behind me on the couch and just sit next to me holding hands or with my arm around her. I have to move her out from under me all night long. She is uncomfortably close like she's trying to climb inside of me.

Then there is the frustration of her new fears. I don't know if she is really afraid of being alone as she claims but do I really have to go to the bathroom with her? Does she really need to sit this close? She's not any more alone if she's holding my hand 1/2" from me.

I'm really touched out and frustrated about this need to be *on* me all day.
