Ep 951. Tabletop Takeoff: a calming bedtime and naptime story for children

Bozz, Rozz, and Mozz racecar are stuck inside on a snowy day and get to try something new! Narrator: Male Story Begins: 4:08 Tabletop Takeoff Excerpt: Today was a cold winter day, and Bozz, Rozz, and Mozz, the toy cars, were stuck inside. They looked out the window and could see snow coming down heavily. The flakes were white and pretty, but the cars knew it was cold and wet. Their little boy, Mike, would not be taking them outside to play today. Instead, Mike was setting up the racetrack on the coffee table in the living room. Their racetrack was in the shape of an 8, with one hill in the center. Most of the time, their racetrack was stored on Mike’s dresser, or even sometimes put away in a box. But when Mike wanted to play, usually he set up the track on the floor of his bedroom. So this is why Mozz, Bozz, and Rozz were so excited, despite the snowy weather: they were on a new adventure in a new room! The three little cars waited patiently on the living room carpet as Mike finished setting up the track. Today’s Meditation: Feel calm and relaxed as you imagine a baby elephant and its mama.
