Once upon a time, in a little house warm and bright, lived a happy girl named Lily. As the sun began to dip behind the sleepy hills and the first stars twinkled hello, Lily knew it was almost time for bed. She loved her bedtime routine, which was like a soft, cozy path leading to dreamland.
First, Lily helped put away her toys. The blocks went neatly in their box, the little cars lined up in a row, and her fluffy teddy bear sat patiently on her pillow. Putting her toys away felt like saying goodnight to her playtime friends until morning.
Next, it was bath time! Lily loved splashing gently in the warm, bubbly water. She washed her hands and face and legs, feeling fresh and clean. The steam felt soft and warm on her skin, like a gentle hug.
After her bath, Lily put on her softest pajamas. They felt like wearing a cloud! Then, she brushed her teeth, making little foamy bubbles appear in the mirror. Her mouth felt sparkly and clean.
With clean teeth and soft pajamas, Lily snuggled into her warm bed. Her teddy bear was right there, ready for cuddles. Mommy or Daddy tucked her in, pulling the blankets up just right, making her feel safe and snug, like a little bug in a rug.
They read a quiet story about little bunnies going to sleep in their burrow. Lily listened closely, looking at the colorful pictures. The story was peaceful and made her feel sleepy.
After the story, she got a warm kiss on her forehead and a gentle hug goodnight. Lily closed her eyes. She took a deep breath, feeling the softness of her pillow and the warmth of her blankets. She felt so safe and loved in her cozy bed.
As she drifted off to sleep, Lily began to dream. She dreamt she was floating on a giant, fluffy marshmallow cloud high in the sky. Friendly little birds with colorful feathers flew by and chirped happy, gentle songs just for her. The cloud floated softly, showing her the twinkling stars up close.
She smiled in her sleep, feeling peaceful and happy. The marshmallow cloud was the perfect place to be, soft and warm. Slowly, the cloud drifted slower and slower, and the bird songs became softer and softer.
Lily slept soundly, dreaming sweet dreams on her fluffy cloud. She was cozy, safe, and loved, resting peacefully until the sun came up, ready for another day of fun.
