Holding you

We stayed in a hotel with my family up north over the weekend, which meant Evan and I got to share a room with Olivia...
We were treated to one sleeping-talking bout. In true toddler form, Olivia called out in her sleep, "No, no, no, no, no!" and went right on sleeping.
The next night she woke up, crying and very sad. She was probably scared waking up in an unfamiliar place. I ran over and picked her up, trying to find any words that would sooth her. "You're okay, Mommy's here. It's okay, Mommy is holding you. Jesus is with you. He is always with you. Jesus is holding you - " to that Olivia quickly snapped to and said "Get down!"
She was clearly not interested in Jesus holding her.
