Today we’ll be passengers on Dragon’s bus ride. Dragon decides to visit the kids, but they are going to school. Bobby the bus shows Dragon the school route.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 8:26
Narrator: Female
Dragon’s Bus Ride Excerpt:
Then, Dragon noticed Owen, Andy, and Allie waiting on the street. They were laughing and smiling. Spotting Dragon, they waved. Smiled and waving back Dragon felt relieved to find them. Dragon wondered why the kids were standing at the corner holding bags. Dragon decided to travel a little further from the forest to find out what was happening. After all, things had been going pretty well and Dragon was feeling more confident. As Dragon began to walk over to Allie, Owen, and Andy a bright yellow bus drove up. The bus stopped right in front of them and held out a stop sign, so Dragon stopped. Dragon could see James and Julia already sitting on the bus along with Ian, Mike, Rogelio, Helen, Brianna, Luis, Lydia, Alice, Anora, Max and Mia. As Dragon watched Andy, Allie, and Owen boarded the bus.
Today’s Meditation: Imagine floating on a cloud, and relax into the feeling of lightness.

Here’s an excerpt from today’s bedtime story to help with emotional regulation, Happy Dragon:
Growing nearer to the playground Dragon began to feel curious because there was something sitting in the forest just ahead. It was wrapped in a big red bow. As Dragon walked closer, Dragon realized it was a present. Had someone lost a gift? Dragon hurried over to it, eager to return the gift to its recipient. Dragon searched for a clue as to whose present it might be. There was a picture tied to the present. It was a dragon! Dragon smiled knowing whose present it was. Quickly, Dragon untied the ribbon picked up the soft fabric.

A birds’ song wakes our cuddly dragon from a nap, reminding Dragon to return the cuddly yellow blanket to the kids. Dragon decides the playground is best.
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:31
Narrator: Female
Cuddly Dragon Story Excerpt:
The dancing melody tickled Dragon’s ears. And so, with a smile, Dragon woke. It was always wonderful to hear the joyful music of the birds. So, Dragon blinked, eyes fluttering open to see the source of the song. Vibrant flowers softly swayed with the breeze releasing their refreshing scent. Dragon took a deep breath, in and out (deep breath), enjoying the floral fragrance. Then Dragon nuzzled the soft yellow blanket, still clutched in Dragon’s paws. There was a nervous fluttering in Dragon’s tummy. It was time to return the blanket to the kids.
Meditation Description: Rest among the twinkling stars with today’s meditation.

Dragon finds a beautiful rose garden and lays down to rest, snuggling with a cozy blanket. Will Dragon’s new toy help Dragon find a new friend?
Final 3 Dragon Breaths: 7:43
Narrator: Male
Dragon’s New Toy Story Excerpt:
Enjoying the soft floral fragrance, Dragon held the blanket up to its face and nuzzled it. Feeling calm, happy, and secure Dragon hugged the blanket once again. Dragon realized someone loved this bright yellow blanket and was probably missing it.
Slowly, Dragon walked along. The trees seemed to be pointing Dragon down a particular path. Slowly, and deliberately stepping to avoid the tree roots jutting out from the ground, Dragon walked along the twisting and turning path. Up ahead, Dragon noticed a sunbeam had weaved through the tree canopy, lighting up the forest floor. Reaching the sunbeam, Dragon stopped, closed its eyes, and enjoyed the warmth of the light on its skin.
Today’s Meditation: Feel your muscles relax as you check in with your body from head to toe.

Happy Halloween!

Our dragon hears a lot of commotion and peeks out of the forest. Lots of strange monsters and creatures are out wandering through the streets. Dragon feels a little frightened until the creatures begin to laugh and Dragon realizes it just the kids trick or treating.
Narrator: Male
Short Story Excerpt
The fallen leaves crunched under Dragon’s paws. Cheerful noises from the town echoed in the forest. Curious, Dragon tip toed to the very edge of the forest and peaked out through the branches of a pine tree. Then Dragon jumped back, feeling startled. What was going on? Dragon peaked through the branches of the pine tree again. There, walking on the sidewalks of town, were all sorts of monsters and creatures.
Today’s Meditation: Relax in the grass as you imagine sunlight warming you from head to toe.
