I think my heart just melted... or tore in half.

Kaitlyn has been telling me, when I'm ready to leave her room at night, "Don't go bye bye Mommy, I neeeeed you!"
I asked Nathan yesterday if he had had her say that to him or not yet, and it just so happened that she tried to pull that trick on him that night. Nathan was getting ready to go out to watch football at a local watering hole when he came into her room to give her a kiss.
"Don't go bye bye Daddy," she says while grabbing him like she were about to fall into a pit of hot lava, "I need you!"
Nathan looked at me and we nearly fell onto the floor. Laugh? Cry? What do we do? It's so cute, it just melts my heart. I know that she is NOT really going to get hurt feelings when we leave, since other times she says bye without a problem and is a very independent little girl. I really don't know where this came from, but it's sooo sweet.
