MAISIE

Mummy tucked Maisie in bed for the night, gave her a kiss and turned on the music box on the table. Mummy left the room, and Maisie started to drift off to sleep watching the small ballerina turning on the music box.

Maisie  rubbed her eyes then she saw that the little ballerina had jumped from the box and onto the table where she was dancing all around in the pretty pink tutu and shinny shoes, the ballerina  twisted and  jumped with her hands in the air, as Maisie held out her hand the little ballerina jumped onto it still dancing and tickling Maisie‘s hand, this made Maisie laugh, they heard mummy coming up the stairs and when mummy came into the room Maisie was fast asleep and the ballerina was back on the box standing very still. Good night sleep tight said mum.   

James

James was laid down in his cot; he was a handsome little boy and very content. As he was left alone to sleep With the door slightly open, the little brown bear poked His paw through the bars of the cot and gently Touched James tiny hand, James tighten his fingers around the bears Paw. “Hello little man welcome to our world pleased to meet you.” James let out a content sigh. As he did the giraffe that was standing in the corner poked his head over the top of the cot his large eyes twinkling in the Dark.

He lent down further into the cot and rubbed James face with his chin. James wiggled and made a sound every one kept still then a head popped round the door to check on James who was sleeping soundly. The small lion lying at the end of the cot let out a loud yawn “time to sleep”. All the animals closed their eyes and settled down with James for a good night’s sleep. Good night sleep tight whispered brown bear.

Sweep

Sweep was a small Yorkshire terrier, his colouring was black and tan with a few light patches, he was very pretty with large brown eyes and rather large ears, one stood up and one flopped over. He was a cheeky little dog always pinching the washing and taking it into the garden or hiding it in his box. Mum spent all her time collecting things up that sweep had taken, but sometimes mum would wonder how sweep had managed to get some of the things, he had collected, as she was sure she had put them on the kitchen work top out of sweeps way. One night when mum came down stairs to get a glass of water ,she couldn’t believe what she was seeing she rubbed her eyes to make sure, sweep was hovering just above the worktop, his ears were both up and glowing in the dark like the wings of an angel. Mum had caught him he was just about to take a set of ear phones when he spotted mum watching him, he gently landed on the floor and went into his box ,mum went back to bed. The next morning mum couldn’t make up her mind if she had dreamed the whole thing, she went around collecting up sweeps collection of goods, still wondering if it was true or just her mind playing tricks on her . That night she put sweep to bed in his box and hid outside the kitchen door. Mum had nearly fallen asleep when she saw a small light flicker, she peeked in to the kitchen and saw sweep and his glowing ears coming up from the floor, towards were she had left her son (sonny’s) box hat, sweep went over to the hat and tried to pick it up, but it was to heavy  he nudged it with his head until the hat fell from the side, but sweep flew underneath the hat and it landed on his head.  Mum made sweep jump when she laughed out loud at sweep wearing sonny’s box hat ,with his glowing ears sticking out each side, when sweep saw mum laughing he gave her a big smile, mum was so shocked , sweep quickly few back in the box wearing his hat. Mum decided sweep was an angel dog and made shore she put everything away before she went to bed every night , but she could often here sweep flying round the kitchen having fun.
