Up at 3:30 AM...Again

One of the things I love about being a mom is (no, not getting up at 3:30 AM) getting to scare off the monsters and make everything all better.  Olivia has frequent nightmares and often calls for me in her sleep.  At 3:30 this morning I was sitting on the edge of her bed, rubbing her back and talking to her.  She didn't wake up, but did calm down.  I love that even in her sleep she recognizes my voice and touch and trusts that I will keep her safe.
