S2E06, NIGHT Flying Heart
[INTRODUCTION]
Taes: Hello, my name is Taes and I am so happy to be here with you at the very end of our day to say goodnight.
It is just such a good time to think back on what happened today on how we felt throughout the day and just wind down together.
Are you ready?
Me too.
I love knowing all day long that I get to see you and hear about how your day was and how you're feeling.
So, first of all, I just wanna say, thank you so much for being here with me.
[FLYING HEART]
Taes: Welcome to our bedtime together. Before we start, you know what you gotta do. Go put those pajamas on, make sure that you've brushed every single one of your teeth. Make sure you've said goodnight to every single person in your house, including your pets. If you have any, get those jammies on and come on into bed. And I want you to pull the covers up and lie right down for this.
This morning we did a flying heart and we sent love out to all sorts of people in our lives. And tonight we are gonna do another flying heart. But this time, I want you to think about people in your day. Who is somebody in your day that maybe did something that made your day feel extra special? Maybe they gave you a hug, or they made you some food, or they said something nice, or you played with them. Who made your day special?
And if you can think of someone, put your hands on your heart, take a deep breath in, let it out and imagine that your heart is flying outside of your body, outside of your chest and finding that person who made your day special.
And once you have found them, take a big deep breath in, let it out and imagine that little hearts are sprinkling down on them. And can you say, “I love you”.
Good. Now let's think of one more person who did something really special for you today. Maybe it's somebody in your family or a teacher or a friend. And just picture what it is that they did. And try to find a big feeling of “thank you” inside of your body.
Now take a big deep breath in, let it out and imagine your heart flying all the way to where they are and it's right above their head. You're gonna take one more deep breath in, let it out, and send little tiny hearts flowing down on top of them, showing them how much you love and appreciate them. And can you say, “I love you”'?
Now, take a deep breath in and let it out. And imagine your heart flying all the way back into your house, into your bedroom and into your bed.
And take that heart of yours and just give it a little hug. And can you say, “I love you, heart”.
I hope that you have the happiest of dreams tonight.
[CLOSING]
Taes: Thank you to you for being here with me.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow morning.
Have an amazing sleep with lots of happy dreams.
Remember, there is nobody in the whole world with a heart just like yours.
I love you. And I love your big heart so much.
