Goodnight Little Royal
Once upon a time, in a quiet, cozy room, it was time for bed. The little Baby Princess stopped playing. She sat on her soft bedroom rug and rubbed her tired little eyes with her small hands. She opened her mouth and gave a very, very big, slow yawn. Her tiny body was asking for a long, deep rest.
Baby Princess had soft, square blocks on the rug. It was time to put them away so the room could sleep. She slowly reached out her tired arm and picked up one red block. She placed the red block gently into her toy box. She reached out and picked up one blue block. She placed the blue block gently into the toy box. She picked up one yellow block, feeling her arm get heavier and heavier. She placed it slowly into the box.
Next, it was time to wash up. Baby Princess sat in her small, warm bath. The warm water felt wonderfully calming on her tired little legs and her tired little arms. She did not play. She just let the warm water relax her heavy muscles. She watched a small, clear soap bubble float gently in the air until it slowly disappeared.
Baby Princess stepped very slowly out of the warm water. She wrapped herself in a big, heavy, fluffy white towel. The towel made her feel completely safe and wonderfully warm.
Now, Baby Princess needed to put on her favorite sleep clothes. She put on her very soft, warm pink pajamas. She pushed her left arm slowly through the sleeve. She pushed her right arm slowly through the other sleeve. She buttoned the front, moving her small fingers at a very slow pace.
She held her small toothbrush. She brushed her little teeth with slow, gentle movements. Up and down, very slowly. She rinsed her mouth with cool water, feeling completely clean and incredibly sleepy.
Baby Princess walked with heavy, tired steps into her quiet bedroom. She reached up to her head and slowly took off her shiny plastic play crown. She gently placed the little crown on her small wooden table. Even the play crown needed to rest for the night.
She climbed slowly up into her incredibly cozy, soft bed. She pulled the heavy, warm blanket all the way up to her chin. She reached out and grabbed her fluffy, brown teddy bear. She hugged the bear comfortably against her chest. The bear felt perfectly safe and warm.
Mommy leaned down and gave Baby Princess a gentle, soft kiss on her forehead. Daddy leaned down and gave Baby Princess a gentle, soft kiss on her cheek. Mommy and Daddy carefully tucked the edges of the heavy blanket under the soft mattress, making a perfectly safe little nest.
Baby Princess closed her heavy eyes. She took a deep, slow breath of the quiet room air. Breathe in, breathe out. She did not move her legs. She did not move her arms. Her breathing became very steady. She was completely safe, wonderfully warm, and perfectly ready to drift into a deep, beautiful, and restorative sleep.
