ADVERTS DISCLAIMER:

This podcast has ads at the start of every episode. However never in the middle of a story or at the end.

Please be assured all ad blocks have been applied to ensure no over 18 or inappropriate ads are played.

However, there may be the odd occasion where an advert slips through the net because the company submitting them submits them under a category that is not correct. This happens very rarely and I do my upmost to stop this happening.

If this happens, please email me at shortstoriesforkids@gmail.com and let me know the following information: What the ad was for? What state you live in? And what episode you heard it on and I will immediately contact Spreaker to block the ad.

I take this very seriously and I really appreciate your support and co-operation.

As creators, we want your child’s experience to be a pleasurable one. Running adverts is necessary to allow us to operate, but please do consider the premium subscription service as an alternative – it’s ad free.

Hello and welcome back to sleepy stories.

0:18.3

I'm your host, Lucy, and my friends and I will be reading you a sleepy bedtime story every week

0:28.5

to relax you and to help you to drift off into a restful sleep.

0:36.6

From time to time, we will also read you a relaxing peaceful meditation

0:44.3

that will take you somewhere beautiful and calming. Once we have read the stories we will then read them a second time.

0:57.3

But this time, they will be read even slower.

1:08.6

Before we begin, I would like you to close your eyes and breathe in and out nice and

1:17.6

deeply. Take a few seconds to inhale and then hold your breath for a few seconds more.

1:31.2

And then release and breathe out.

1:36.2

Do this a few times if you need to while you listen to the music and you listen to my voice.

Give yourself time to let your body relax and your mind settle.

It's important that we allow time for ourselves to feel safe, cozy and completely at ease. And now it's time

2:12.1

for this week's story. Birthday. Birthday surprise. Today we're Birthday Surprise

2:50.5

cake, and fun that went with it.

2:53.0

But this year, he just wasn't feeling it. He was up early, long before anyone else in the house,

3:00.3

and he had to admit that it didn't feel like his birthday at all. He got dressed, went into the

3:06.8

kitchen, and looked at the cereal. None of that

3:10.0

was exciting either. Oi! Who are you? A tiny voice shouted from the floor. Remy was surprised to see

3:17.7

a mouse stood there, staring up at him. Uh, I'm Remy, said Remy. I live here. Well, I've never seen you before, said the mouse.
