The Quiet After the Party
bedtime
birthday
emotions
After a busy, exciting birthday party full of dancing, games, and cake, a child comes home to peaceful quiet. Sitting on their bed, they thank each part of their body in turn for all the wonderful things it did that day. Tired feet that danced, legs that ran, a tummy full of treats, hands that held balloons, and a face that smiled so much. As each body part relaxes, the child drifts off to sleep, the quiet after the party feeling soft and safe.
