Leo was SO excited! His best friend, Mia, was coming for a sleepover. That meant setting up the special guest bed! It wasn't Leo's usual bed, of course. It was a little smaller and had a bright blue blanket with sparkly stars. Leo’s mama helped him fluff the pillow just right.
“Is Mia going to like it?” Leo asked, smoothing the blanket. Mama smiled. “I’m sure she will, sweetie. You’re making it extra special just for her.” Leo carefully placed his favorite stuffed lion, Roary, on the pillow. Roary was a very good guest bed tester!
Soon, the doorbell rang! It was Mia! She ran in with a big hug for Leo. “Wow!” she said, looking at the guest bed. “It’s so cozy!” Leo beamed. He showed Mia all his toys, and they built a magnificent tower of blocks.
After playing, it was time for pajamas and stories. Leo and Mia snuggled into their beds – Leo in his big bed, and Mia in the guest bed. Mama read a story about a little bear who learned to share his honey. Leo remembered to share his favorite glow-in-the-dark stars with Mia, sticking them on the ceiling above her bed.
Mia giggled as the stars twinkled. “This is the best sleepover ever!” she whispered. Leo felt warm and happy. Sharing his space, and especially his guest bed, with Mia made everything more fun. He realized that having a friend nearby made bedtime even cozier.
Even Roary seemed to smile from the guest bed pillow. Leo and Mia closed their eyes, feeling safe and comfortable. The guest bed wasn’t just a bed; it was a place for friendship and sweet dreams. Leo knew they would have lots of fun adventures together, starting with a good night’s sleep.
Mama tucked them in one last time. “Sweet dreams, my little ones,” she said softly. Leo and Mia drifted off to sleep, happy to be together, even in separate, but equally cozy, beds.
