 It's time. It's time. It's time. For what? For the curious giraffe show. Sit back and relax. So we'll sing, chat, and laugh all on the curious. Welcome back everybody. You have such great energy today. And I've asked Olivia if she will help Jeanette Giraffe find out who's who on the curious crew today. What's your name Claire? Hi Claire. What's your name? Donate. Hi Donate. What's your name? Julia. Hi Julia. Hi Emily. I would like you all to meet my friend Fran Friedman. So let's say hi Fran. Hi Fran. Hi. And who am I? Dorothy. Hi. I'm so glad you all could be here. Now the giraffes have been talking to me during the week. And they have a new question for us. But we're going to start with our verse about the zebra. Okay so you can pretend that she's looking over at zebra wondering. Let's start. Go ahead. Giraffe looked over at zebra and said why do I have spots? Why do you have stripes? Zebra just shrunk and said we come in all types but we all share one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah we're different and we know it but we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. Giraffe looked over at his mother and said why do I go to bed at a certain time each night? His mother said good rest helps you grow up right underneath this one big sky. Oh yeah. Share one big sky. Share one big sky. Give the world a big high five. Yeah we're different and we know it but we all get along. Cause we can all share and we can all care. We're different but we all belong. That was wonderful singing and they wanted to ask that because different people have different feelings about bedtime. So first of all I'm just curious how you feel about bedtime. How many of you say yippee yippee yippee I'm glad it's bedtime. Do you feel that way Dona? Yeah. And why do you feel that way? What's so good about bedtime? Because I don't have to sleep on the floor. No where do you get to sleep? Yeah so you get a nice quiet place to sleep. And Julia you said you like it. Because I have to do many things in that day and I have to do extra things after school so it's really tiring. So I like to go to bed and get a nice rest. It feels good to settle down great. And some of you how many of you say I'd rather not go to bed? Me. Okay so Claire tell us about how you feel about bedtime. I'm worried I'll never get to sleep. You get anxious whether you'll get to sleep or not. Okay how about Emily? I keep going to bed because I get less time to play with Lauren and Sophie. Oh how nice. You like to play with your sisters. Yes. Lauren and how do you feel about bedtime? You want to tell us or not? Not right now. Okay that's fine. And Olivia do you want to tell us? I just can never get to sleep when I stay up way too late and I'm always just so tired. Okay. And I just don't like it. Okay. It's hard. It's hard to play. So we've got a couple songs about those different kinds of feelings. So the first song was about a friend of mine whose child had a hard time going to sleep and the reason for her was not that she had so much energy but that when she got in a quiet space all settled down for the day she would start worrying. And it was hard for her to sleep because she worried so much. So my friend called me and she said Dorothy would you please write a song that could help Aria feel safer at night so she could just close her eyes and let go and know that everything would be okay. And so I wrote this song so I thought we all could sing it and you can be singing to Aria or to yourself or to someone you know who might need a little reassurance that when they close their eyes everything will be okay. Aria. Aria. Aria's a person child of my heart. Aria. That's who surrounds you at night but you are a child who is filled with great light In the picture the sun as it shines at midday And all your dark fears will be outshined away And angels will gladly... We believe that each and every one of us, inside of us, even when the lights are turned down dark, that we have our own little light and we can close our eyes and picture that if it helps us. So, but other people have trouble settling down because they still have energy left over. So how many of you sometimes dance before bedtime? Do you, Dona? Do you sometimes singly? Yeah, go ahead Dona. Sometimes I just jump on my bed a little. Oh, to get it out. Well today I'm going to invite you to stand up right here and we're going to do the pajama dance. And as our friends in the audience know, I invited you to wear pajamas today, those who wanted to. So stand up please in your pajamas. Hold on to some of your toys. We're going to sing about dancing with our toys. Okay. Pajama dance, pajama dance Jumping around in our PJ pants Momies are tired and daddies want to sleep They're not ready to count those sheep So we'll dance around Trying not to make noise Dance around with some of our toys Teddy bears love to dance with us But when they start to stomp It's just a pupa Pajama dance, pajama dance Jumping around in our PJ pants Grandpas are tired and grandpas want to sleep But we're not ready to count those sheep So we'll dance around With some of our toys Dance around Not making any noise They're up, we're low Our trains are happy to dance with us But when they doot their whistle Too, it stirs up our fun Pajama dance Jumping around in our PJ pants Sisters are tired and she wants to sleep Books are at one But when they fall down It stirs up our fun Going down Feels like we danced all over the town Our stuffed lions have stuffed their outside And someone's snoring Curling up to bed Have any of you ever counted sheep to get to sleep? Yes, and why do you do that Emily? I feel like I never get to sleep And how does it help? It slows me down a little bit Okay, so that's why sometimes people count sheep And I just wanted to share This was a very special book that I dropped When I was your age or even younger My mother used to read to me from this book And I wanted to bring it out and show it to you Okay, so now before bedtime We have Fran here who's going to tell us a story And she has a surprise for you in the mystery box I'm going to help because you've got your hands full Yes, okay Well, I have a question Am I wearing sneakers? No I was trying to wear my sneakers And I put my sneakers right by my bed when I went to sleep But do you know what happened? What? In the morning I woke up My sneakers weren't there Uh-oh And it happened five nights in a row Couldn't find my sneakers So the sixth night I figured I have to find out where my sneakers went When I went to bed So sixth night I got ready for bed Put on my jammies, took my sneakers off They were a little small They're very comfortable And so I put my sneakers right by my bed Should we put them right by my bed? And while she tells her story If you quietly would like to take your sneakers And put them right next to you Right by your bed You can But you can go ahead while they're doing that Tell us your story So, as usual, I put my head on the pillow Normally I close my eyes The next thing I know it's morning But this time I wanted to find out where my sneakers went So I put my head on the pillow Can you put your head on your pillow? Very good And I pretended to go to sleep And then, do you know what happened? It was 10 o'clock I lied in bed I will tell you what happened to my sneakers I can't figure it I can never find my sneakers In the morning Whenever we're up Is the question that runs through Help your sneakers, go ahead It's going back Where did they go? It's creeping right past me Tiptoe at my door I follow them to see And down the hall Oh, so quietly They never stop to hit the lights Outside a laughter And such fun Some jump rope Some heart is so quick to buy It's held to scale They're all corrections No time to dig into my house They don't seem to be fine Answer to the question To the playground they wanted to have fun Before they went to bed Okay, so now Put your sneakers to bed again Tuck them in Do you like to be tucked in? I love to be tucked in Well, I brush my teeth and wash my face And I put my clothes away And I tidy up my room I fit just to finish up my day And maybe I'll turn down The lights real low And wait for the person That I love so Tuck me in Tuck me in Tuck me in I love to be played And those covers up to my chin Tuck me in Tuck me in Tuck me in If you want me to sleep at least Please, please Just lie back here and suck Cause I know if I wait patiently We'll soon get passing by And I will just turn down The lights real low And wait for the person That I love so Tuck me in I love how you bring those Covers up to my chin And tuck me in If you want me to sleep Please, please Tuck me in I think we're gonna have a good night's rest Okay, well we don't have a whole night to sleep So let's just imagine The earth turned around From darkness And the sun is coming up The morning winds are blowing As you start to wake up You can start to stretch And then you're awake enough You can join me in the morning song Morning winds are singing Singing to the trees Morning winds are singing Singing to the tree To the fresh new breeze To the sun Morning winds are singing Singing to the sun Who day has begun To the birds Morning winds are singing Let your voice be heard To the land Morning winds are singing Let the day be grand To each boy To each girl and boy Morning winds are singing Show the earth your joy To each boy and girl Anything else before I turn to the next song? Is there anything else you'd like to share about What bedtime is like at your house? What you do? She mentioned washing your face and brushing teeth Are there any bedtime routines That you'd like to do? Claire, great Yes, Dona Taking a shower Would you like to take a shower at the end of the day?
