But when it’s time for bed,I’ll want story time insteadin the big, soft chair.

We’ll read a book or two, say “Good night!” and “I love you!” in the big, soft chair.

Twinkle, TwinklePretty Bird

Sing Me a Song

Birdy, birdy in her nest,Settles down to take a rest.

Big brown bear tucked in his cave,Cozy in the bed he made.

Every creature has a bed.Now it’s time to rest your head. Try singing this to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle,

Little Star. Don’t worry about your singingvoice. Your little one loves it!
