Is this a phase?

It started about a month ago.  Chloe slowly has regressed back to needing me ALL THE TIME!!  From the moment she gets up until I can finally get her to bed, she needs to know where I am at all times and she thinks she needs to be within reaching distance of me.  If I go into another room, she'll call out for me and if I don't answer in under a second, she will start hysterically crying.  If I grab my purse and keys she clings to my leg and begs me to take her with me.  At bedtime, she cries over and over and asks if I am going to leave her.  I usually give in at bedtime and let her sleep with Samantha, which seems to calm her down.  But, most mornings I wake up to a 3 year old nestled right up next to me. (I know. What can I say, I'm a sound sleeper)  Let me clarify that I have never left her behind, EVER!!!  I have never forced her to stay somewhere that she feared, EVER!!!  So, I'm really hoping that this is just a phase that will pass quickly.  But then again, maybe I don't.  I know it won't be too far down the road and I will be longing for the days that she needed me.

For now, it's a good thing she is so darn cute!! It really does save her in her most difficult moments!
