Hello friends and welcome to Sleep Tight Stories.

This should be a story about how Bernice might be losing her voice, but it is not.

As you can hear, I am losing my voice a bit.

So please take care of yourselves and stay healthy.

Bernice is very excited about all the things she is going to do at school today. She sets her alarm but never needs it to actually wake up.

Now, Cookie helps her to wake up in the morning,

but usually she gets up by herself.

When Papa Bear comes in to tell her that she is not going to school, Bernice is a bit disappointed.

Bernice has a storm day.

Bernice doesn't usually need to be woken up by an alarm clock or her mama or papa. She is what her papa says is a

morning person. Still she sets an alarm just in case.

Usually, she just wakes up without even trying,

but lately she has a new way,

the sound of her kitten cookie purring and rubbing against her face.

If I don't move soon, cookie is going to start licking my head, which feels kind of strange," Bernice stopped.

So she opened one eye and then the other.

Good morning, Cookie, Bernice said from under her blankets

as she started rubbing cookie's head.

Today is going to be a great day, cookie.

I have science class, art class, and we are learning a new sport today

and gym.

Bobby and I are supposed to work on a project together in the library today too. And I get to practice reading in front of the class, which used to be a lot scarier.
