At bedtime, Mara placed her toy astronaut on the pillow. She wanted to begin Mission Sleep.
The Toy Astronaut Waiting for Mission SleepA toy astronaut treats bedtime like a careful moon mission and helps a child complete each step before launch into dreams.
1. At bedtime, Mara placed her toy astronaut on the pillow. She wanted to begin Mission Sleep.
2. Mara reached for the blanket, but the landing zone was full of toys. The astronaut held up one gloved finger. First, clear the floor.
3. Mara tucked every toy into the basket. The last block landed with a soft plunk. The floor was ready.
4. Next, Mara brushed the morning crumbs away. She brushed the tops, the bottoms, and one very ticklish back tooth.
5. Mara took one small drink of water. Then she made one last bathroom visit, because careful astronauts plan ahead.
6. The astronaut's next step was a quiet story. Mara read about a moon that lost its mitten, and she found it before the last page.
7. Mara was nearly ready when she spotted one toy under the bed. She returned it to base, and the astronaut's checklist was complete.
8. Mara settled under the quilt. The astronaut gave a quiet salute. Mission Sleep was complete, and Mara launched gently into dreams.
