it's late and you must be sleepy.

Now it's time for you babies to go to bed.
Oh, no, I'm not tired yet.

- Baby David, Elmo has to go to sleep,
but Elmo's not sleepy.
Elmo wants to play.
What's that Baby David?
You wanna hear another bedtime story?
Okay.
Once upon a time.
- [Mr. Andy] There was a monster who couldn't fall asleep.
Hello Elmo.
- Oh, it's Elmo's friend, Mr. Andy.
Hi Mr. Andy.
Say hi Baby David.
- [Mr. Andy] Isn't it time for bed, Elmo?
- Yeah, it's Elmo's bedtime,
but Elmo is having trouble falling asleep.
Elmo wants to play.
- [Mr. Andy] Yeah, sometimes it's hard to go to sleep
when we still want to play,
and have lots of energy in our bodies.
So how about we do a fun monster meditation, Elmo,
to calm down for bed?
- A monster meditation?
- [Mr. Andy] It's an activity to help you get ready for bed.
- Yeah.
You and Baby David can follow along too.
- [Mr. Andy] So let's begin
with some soothing belly breaths.
Take a slow, deep breath in.
And now slowly breathe out.
Very good.
Let's do that one more time together.
So slow deep breath in,
and slowly breathe out.
- Good work Baby David.
- [Mr. Andy] Let's play goodnight body.
So we're gonna start at our feet,
and say goodnight to each body part.
(Elmo laughing)
- Elmo's going to say goodnight to his body?
- [Mr. Andy] That's right.
And we're going to wiggle each part
as we say goodnight,
and then relax it.
Wanna try it together?
- Yeah. (laughing)
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle. (laughing)
- [Mr. Andy] Great wiggling, Elmo,
we'll do this through the whole body.
Here we go.
- [Elmo] Okay.
Goodnight feet.
- [Mr. Andy] Very good.
Now relax your feet,
and let's move to your legs.
- [Elmo] Goodnight legs.
- [Mr. Andy] Now relax your legs.
What body part comes next, Elmo?
- Goodnight bottom. (laughing)
Goodnight tummy.
Goodnight shoulders. (yawning)
Goodnight arms.
- [Mr. Andy] Are you starting to feel relaxed?
- Yeah, Elmo feels really relaxed.
Goodnight hands.
- [Mr. Andy] You did it, Elmo.
Now, let's end with one more deep breath.
Slowly breathe in
and slowly breathe out.
Great work.
Are you feeling sleepy Elmo?
Elmo?
Oh, goodnight Elmo.
Sweet dreams.
And goodnight Baby David.
- Bob.
Bob.
- Oh, hi, Elmo.
What you got there?
- Elmo borrowed this really cool book
from the library,
and well, Elmo was wondering
if maybe Bob could read it to Elmo.
- Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure.
It's good "Goodnight Numbers" Elmo.
I think it's a bedtime story,
and it's still daylight, see?
The sun's still out.
- Well that's okay, Bob.
Elmo's just so excited about learning about numbers
that Elmo doesn't wanna wait until bedtime.
- Okay, okay.
So it's called "Goodnight Numbers,"
and it's written by Danica McKellar,
and illustrated by Alicia Padron.
Okay.
- Uh-huh.
- Are you ready? - Ready.
- All right, here we go.
- Okay.
- [Bob] One.
Goodnight one fork.
Goodnight one spoon.
Goodnight one bowl.
I'll see you soon.
- Wait a minute, wait a minute, hold the phone.
- What?
- Saying goodnight to a fork, a bowl and a spoon?
Elmo's never heard of anything so silly.
- I haven't either.
- Goodnight.
Goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, spoon.
- Okay.
- That is silly.
- That's crazy.
- Two.
Goodnight two hands.
Goodnight two feet.
Goodnight two ears so small and sweet.
Oh, Elmo, can you find two of anything else here?
- [Elmo] Oh, oh, there are one, two kittens playing.
- [Bob] Right.
Good counting.
- Thank you, Bob.
- [Bob] Oh, you're welcome.
Three.
Goodnight three wheels.
Goodnight three cans.
Goodnight all trucks,
and pots and pans.
- Oh, look, Bob,
there are threes all over this page.
One, two, three trucks.
One, two, three wheels on a tricycle.
And one, two, three pillows.
That is so cool.
- You're very, very good at this.
- Thank you.
- Oh, anytime.
Four.
Goodnight four paws.
Goodnight kitty cat.
Goodnight four froggies on the bathroom mat.
- Oh, look, Bob,
Elmo likes the bath mat with the four froggies.
Look, there's one, two, three, four froggies.
- Mm-hmm, there certainly are.
Four froggies, how about that.
Five.
Goodnight five points.
Goodnight little star.
Goodnight five splashes.
They go really far.
Can you find five of anything else here, Elmo?
- Elmo sees one, two, three,
four, five balls.
- [Bob] Mm-hmm.
- And one, two, three, four, five fishies.
- You're sharp today.
- Oh thanks, Bob.
- Not at all.
Six.
Goodnight six snaps.
Goodnight Mr. Peach.
Goodnight six blocks with six sides each.
- Elmo likes Mr. Peach
with his funny top hat.
- I know, that is funny isn't it?
- Why thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
- Goodbye.
- Wow.
- Mr. Peach is something else.
- Yeah, who knew?
- Yeah.
Seven.
Goodnight seven days.
Goodnight whole week.
Goodnight seven teeth so clean they squeak.
- Ooh, Bob, every night before Elmo goes to bed,
Elmo brushes his teeth.
See?
Ah, ah, ah.
- Let me see.
Oh, squeaky clean.
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Eight.
Goodnight eight arms.
Goodnight tall vine.
Goodnight eight sides on the red stop sign.
- Oh, look, an octopus driving a car.
- Now that's really silly.
Oh, wait, do you know how many tentacles
an octopus has?
- Oh, like 49?
- No, no, no, no.
Count.
Come on count them.
- Okay.
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven, eight tentacles.
- Absolutely.
Eight tentacles.
Good counting again.
You're getting better and better.
Nine.
Goodnight nine butterflies.
Goodnight nine bars.
Goodnight to the moon
and countless stars.
(Elmo yawning)
- Are you getting sleepy?
- A little bit, yeah.
- Okay, hang on, we're almost at the end of the book.
- Okay, okay.
- Okay.
10.
Goodnight 10 fingers.
Goodnight 10 toes.
Goodnight to the world
and everyone knows
numbers are around us like really good friends.
Goodnight to all the numbers.
Goodnight and the end.
Did you like the story, Elmo?
- Elmo loved it, Bob.
- Me too.
- All this counting is making Elmo really sleepy.
- Yeah?
- Elmo thinks that Elmo's gonna go take a nap.
It's probably a very good idea.
- Yeah, thank you, Bob.
- Oh, you're welcome, anytime.
Bye, bye Elmo.
You know, I love reading to Elmo,
and this is a terrific book,
but it does make you a little bit sleepy.
- Slumber party.
- Oh, all right.
Slumber.
