Summary

Winfield and Brian are ready for wheel fun! With the new wheelchair wheels they are ready to play anywhere.
Hello everyone! We hope you enjoyed our new story this week. Now, welcome to Favorite Friday! Sometimes we like to listen to our favorites again. Please enjoy “A Good Idea,” and we’ll be back with a new story on Monday!
Narrator: Female

Story Begins: 10:16

A Good Idea Excerpt:
“I think we should have a race.” Javier said with a smile. Winfield the wheelchair listened as the group of friends talked.
“Yeah! That would be fun! Let’s race now.” Alice stood up, grinning and ready to go.
“I don’t know.” Brian said, looking at Winfield’s big chunky wheels. “We’re kind of set up for rolling off road right now. Winfield’s other wheels are better for racing.”
“I suppose we can wait until tomorrow.” Alice said, as she sat back down.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.
