Bedtime With Warmly Orphaned

  • Build Your Mini “Cabin” Bed Fort

    • Drape a soft blanket over your pillows or a chair back to make a little “cabin” canopy.

    • Tuck in your favorite stuffed toy as your “cabin companion.”

    • Turn on a small night-light or a soft lamp so it glows like a lantern by the hearth.

  • Warm “Cocoa” or “Herbal Tea” Ritual

    • Pour a little warm (not hot!) milk or caffeine-free tea into a favorite mug.

    • Sit in your cabin fort and sip slowly—imagine you’re Slomo enjoying the quiet after a snowy day.

    • Breathe in the gentle steam and let it calm your body.

  • “Annotate Your Dreams” Journal

    • Keep a small notebook and a colorful pencil or sticker pad by your cabin.

    • Before you lie down, draw or write one fun thing you hope to dream about (“flying on a spaceship,” “baking rainbow cookies”).

    • Slomo loves to annotate his world—this helps your imagination take flight.

  • Five “Tech-Free” Deep Breaths

    • Just like Slomo’s internal calm-down checks, close your eyes and inhale for 4 seconds… hold for 2… exhale for 6.

    • Repeat five times, feeling your body grow heavier and more relaxed with each breath.

  • Soft Story Time

    • Read (or have someone read) a short, gentle story—maybe a cozy snowy-woods tale like Slomo’s.

    • If you like, “annotate” by marking your favorite sentence with a sticker, or whisper what you love most about the scene.

  • “Goodnight, Cabin” Affirmation

    • As you snuggle under the blanket, whisper one kind thought:

      • “Goodnight, snowy cabin. Goodnight, cocoa mug.”

      • “Goodnight, world—see you in my dreams.”

    • This tiny ritual reminds you of Slomo’s gratitude for his peaceful home.
