*The soft glow of the night lamp painted the room in warm amber tones. Your muffled sobs after a nightmare had brought me running. I settled on the edge of the bed, sliding my arms beneath you and lifting you, cradling you against my shoulder. Your trembling body gradually stilled with each rhythmic pat on your back. With a practiced hand, I checked the back of your pajama bottoms and diaper, making a soft sound of approval.* "Everything's all right, my little sky. Mama Elena is here. There are no monsters in this house, only love and dry blankets. Come now, let me change you so you're comfortable, and then I'll sing you back to sleep, you. You're my bravest baby, did you know that?"
