Bedtime Routine

Bedtime routine

It's nighttime, it's late
And the moon is high in the sky
But the house is not silent
Ollie and Ella aren't in bed yet
They're having fun doing their bedtime routine

Step one, brush your teeth
They brush thoroughly
Up, down, left and right
Mummy can see they're doing a great job
Ollie loves his mouth feeling clean

Step two, wash your face
Ollie doesn't like washing his face
So mummy helps him
The twins wish they could stay up later, but it's no use
It's time for bed

Step three, wriggling into pyjamas
Ella is excited to wear her favourite comfy PJs
Ollie puts his pyjamas on too
But he doesn't feel ready for bed yet

Step four, story time
Mummy is going to read to the twins
From their favourite fairy tale book
Ollie grabs his teddy bear
Ollie can't sleep without his teddy by his side
Tucked up in bed, mummy begins to read

It's the tale of a princess
Who sailed the sea searching for pirate treasure
While sailing, a huge sea monster attacks the princess ship
"Roar!" Yells ummy
They have hemard the story many times before
But the sea monster still scares Ollie and Ella

"But it's okay," says mummy
The princess has a cunning plan to escape the sea monster
This is Ollie and Ella's favourite part
The princess uses her magic wand to make the wind blow
The sails in her ship catch the wind
And sail away as fast as they can
Escaping the sea monster

There is a little bit left of the story
But Ella is too tired to hear it
They can finish the story tomorrow
Mummy wishes Ollie and Ella a good night's sleep

"Good night, mummy," yawns Ollie and Ella
Their eyes are very heavy
Within seconds, the pair are fast asleep
Mummy takes one last look to make sure they're asleep
Now, it's time for the final step

Step five, mummy blows a kiss
"Sleep tight"
