S1E14, NIGHT Someone You Love (R)
[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.
[SOMEONE YOU LOVE]
Taes: So make sure that you have your jammies on. And make sure that you've brushed your teeth and gotten something really cozy, like a blanket or a stuffy, and then come on back. And can you just close your eyes right now and picture somebody that you really love?
I know there's probably lots of somebodies that you love, but for this time, I just want you to picture one person that you love.
And can you tell me out loud, who is it?
Good. So I want you to close your eyes and imagine that person. And just imagine all of the things that you love about them. And maybe you could think of a specific thing that you love doing with them.
How does it feel in your heart when you spend time with this person?
How does it feel in your body when you spend time with this person?
Can you right now, imagine that you are stretching your arms out beside you and you’re going to imagine that you're giving this person that you love so much a great big hug.
And how does it feel to love that person and to give them a big hug?
Now, can you take that feeling of this person that you love so much, and can you take your hands and imagine that you're putting that feeling inside of your heart.
So touch your hands on your heart on top of each other and just rub your heart in a circle.
This is you putting all of the love from that person into your heart. Putting all of the good feelings from that person into your heart. And know that that person lives in your heart all the time. In this way you are always together, even when you are sleeping.
So right now, can you imagine that person inside of your heart. And can you put a little smile on your face? Good.
Take a big deep breath in and let it out. And I'm wishing you a beautiful sleep with lots of happy dreams.
[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.
