January Jammies: A Special Episode for Sleep!

that you guys loved the January jams episode, and that you've been singing the snowman

“song all month long. That makes me so happy! Today, we have something a little different”

in store for us. If you're listening right now, it might be one of those quiet January moments. Maybe the sky outside is a little gray, and you're getting ready for an app, or perhaps it's nighttime, and you're about to go to bed. Maybe the day has just felt long, and your little body is starting to feel tired and cozy and sleepy. Today's episode is called January jams. Yep, just like the ones you wear at night, and it's designed

especially for these moments when it's time to take some rest. It might be time for an

“app at home, or in the car. It might be bedtime, or maybe you, and I bet you're grown up”

too, just need some quiet time to chill and rest on the couch a bit. Wherever you are, today's episode will help you feel calm and cozy in your body, relaxed and quiet in your brain, and ready to recharge and reset. We will sing some famousologize, hear a story about magical pajamas, and end with a song where we close our eyes, and travel into dreamland. Are you ready to enjoy some quiet, peaceful musical time with me? Get those

jams on and let's go. Wasn't that guitar so beautiful? The sound was so soft and gentle and calm, right? One thing I really love about music is that it can make you feel so many different ways. Sometimes when I hear music, it makes my body feel wiggly and excited, and I just want to jump around and move. Fast music with a quick beat can make us want to dance, or clap, or stomp our feet. But then there are other times when the music is slower and quieter

and softer, and when we hear music like that, our bodies often start to feel calm or too. Our breathing might slow down, our muscles relax, our eyes might even start to feel a little sleepy and heavy.

All over the world, in every country, in every culture, in every place, people have always used

music to help little ones like you feel safe, comforted, and ready for rest. This kind of music is called a lullaby. Can you say it with me? Lullaby. Very good. A lullaby is a very gentle song. It's usually sung softly and slowly, and they're meant to help kids relax, feels super cozy, and maybe even fall asleep. Grownups have been singing lullabies to their kids for hundreds and hundreds of years, rocking them, holding them close, rubbing their backs, and letting the music

do its quiet calming work. Hey, do you want to hear a lullaby today? I bet you do, and I bet you'll know this lullaby. And actually, before we sing it together, let's play a little listening game.

“I'm going to play the melody for you. And if you know what song it is, can you tell me?”

Are your ears ready? Let's listen.

Oh my goodness, do you already know what song this is? You do? What amazing listening ears you have?

Oh, but wait a minute here. I'm hearing you guys say three different names for this song. What is going on? Okay, let's try something. Can you raise your hand if you think this is twinkle twinkle little star? Yep, I see those hands up, and you guys are correct. Now, raise your hand if you think this sounds like the alphabet song.

is called Boba Blacksheet. Yep, all three answers are correct. Here's your incredible music

“education fact of the day kids and grown-ups. This melody is merely identical for all three songs.”

Isn't that amazing? You learned something really high level today. Now the question is, which song should we sing together? I love all of them, but since our episode is all about rest today, I'm thinking we should sing twinkle twinkle little star. I love looking at the stars at

night seeing their magical glowing light and knowing that I get to sleep under the beautiful

twinkly sky. So, will you sing along with me? I'd love to hear your voices join in. Oh, hi! Blacky, tiny, tiny in the sky. Winkled, winkled, little star.

“Now I wonder, Blacky, you are. Well, that was beautiful. What magical singing my little loves?”

Now let me ask you, how does your body feel? How does your mind feel? Calm, happy, quiet,

me too. I love singing this song at night when it's time to rest. It really helps me.

And I know it can help you get some rest too. So next time you want a little help going to bed at night, maybe you can think of this song, or any lullaby, and sing it gently until you travel into Dreamland. Hi, grownups.

and our bodies are ready to rest. There may to be comfy and soft, so we can sleep nice and

“easy all night long. My favorite pajamas are blue with white snowflakes on them. What are your”

favorite pajamas? Some pajamas are two pieces, like a top and pants. Some are one big piece, like footy pajamas that zip zip zip all the way up. My kids love those, and some of us might just wear a big old shirt to bed, right? They can be all different colors too. Some have stripes or

polka dots, some have stars or moons, some have animals, trucks, dinosaurs or hearts. Whatever it is

you wear, you can be sure those pajamas will keep you cozy all night long. Should we sing a song

“about pajamas? I think we should. Join in with me.”

Little feet, little yons, toothbrushed waiting night night on, favorite shirts, sleepy eyes, dancing, butt in the tiger's eyes, but you're my prey. Down the hallway, tiptoe march, then hop in place, grab a break and a film day, snuggle in, dreamland space. Beautiful lullaby singing my friends. Now close your eyes and imagine your favorite stuffy, an in a moment. I think you might hear them humming to you. Do you hear all of your stuffy singing to you? How lovely is that?

One turn then, raise like statues, and hold my hand up, walk beside you, soaps, as clouds are quid tea, breathing slow, we drift to dreams. Singin' stuffy, close your eyes little ones, and enjoy the sounds of all your favorite friends singing you all to dream. That was so great girls and boys. By now, your eyes might be getting a little heavy.

“That's what happens to me when I hear that song. I just love the way my stuffy sing to me, humming,”

sweet melodies, and smiling by my side, as I drift to dreamland. Before we move on today,

grown-ups, I wanted to let you know how the rest of this episode will go. First, we will listen to a

story about magical pajamas. Then, I'll lead us in a sleep meditation, which will then transition us right into a long, binaral beat, which is specifically designed to calm your child's and your brain waves to get them to rest. I know many of you already know this, but in case you didn't, fun fact, I am also a certified pediatric sleep consultant, and I've used this last track many times with pediatric clients over the years to much success. As we listen to it, you'll notice the volume get lower and lower,

eventually drifting out to quiet. Feel free to play it as long as it takes for sleep to come. It's good for their little brains, and of course yours too. Hi grown-ups, before we hear our sleep story and meditation, here's a quick word from our sponsor. I'd like you to meet Brittany Hethets, a certified pediatric sleep consultant, a nurse practitioner specializing in sleep medicine, and a mom of two. Her journey started seven years ago when her son was a baby and he didn't sleep

relate. As an ICU nurse, sleep deprivation was not an option for her. So, Brittany implemented

“sleep training and her entire family dynamic changed. Her baby was in a much better mood,”

her marriage improved, and her family began to truly enjoy each other, the way it was meant to be. After this experience, Brittany made it her mission to help sleep deprived parents change their lives too. Her method is not a one-size-fits-all cry it out. Rather, she utilizes parent present approaches where you can teach your little one a skill in a way that you are comfortable with.

In Brittany's program, she will be there with you every step of the way, helping you through the process.

today. Okay, back to storytime, my cutie-vise. This story is called The Magical Pajamas. Once upon a quiet January night, when the sky was dark and the world felt still, there was a little boy named Sam getting ready for bed. The day had been so full. There was so much playing and laughing and learning and moving, and now it was time to rest. Sam brushed his teeth, washed his face, and climbed into his bed. But before snuggling under the

blankets, something very special happened. Out came the pajamas. But these weren't just any pajamas. These were magical pajamas. They were so soft, they felt like a hug. They were warm, just the right kind of warm, and when Sam slipped them on, something wonderful began to happen. As the buttons were fastened and the zipper zipped, the magical pajamas whispered softly. "Hi Sam, it's okay to rest now. We've got you." Sam felt his shoulders relaxed and

his arms and legs start to feel heavy. When he lay back on his pillow, the pajamas became anti-glow. Not bright, just a gentle, cozy glow, kind of like moonlight shining through a window. The room grew quiet, the sounds of the day flowed it away, and Sam felt safe and calm and sleepy.

“The magical pajamas did something very important. They helped Sam remember all the good parts”

of his day, and gently let go of everything else. They wrapped him in peaceful thoughts of warm blankets, some gentle music, and twinkling stars high up in the night sky. As Sam rested, the magical pajamas began to feel lighter, and lighter, and lighter still. So light, it felt like he was floating. Very slowly. Sam lifted up, just a tiny bit, as if the pajamas were carrying him, high into the night sky. Up he drifted, passed his cozy bed, passed his quiet room, and through

the window, into the beautiful night air. It was cool and calm, and the moon glowed softly nearby, smiling as he floated past. And all around him, the stars twinkled, tiny little lights shining in the dark, like they were saying, "Hello?" The magical pajamas held him close as he floated among the stars. There was no rushing, no noise, just quiet, and glowing light. The stars sparkled slowly, one by one, watching over him. As Sam drifted through the sky, his eyes grew

even heavier. His breathing became slower, and deeper. His body felt peaceful, and still.

softly and slowly, towards his bed. Sam settled in under the blankets once more. The star

“stage shining above him, and the magical pajamas kept him cozy all through the night. And now,”

as the stars continue to twinkle softly, let's rest still together. As we watch, and listen

to the shine and twinkle.

“Close your eyes, you are safe, you are loved. Imagine all the tiny stars.”

Shining gently on each part of you, your feet, your legs, your tummy, your arms,

your face, your stirms apart, milky, and sleepy, take a deep breath in, and a deep breath out.

“You don't have to do anything now. Your body knows how to rest, and sleep will go,”

but it's ready. Good night, I usually be beautiful friends. [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
