… Little Jacky is nodding off to sleep now after listening to your telling of the Velveteen Rabbit. I use your stories as a treat for both Jacky and I. After a long day at work, dinner and the evening routine of getting Jacky to bed, it is so nice for Rachel or me to relax with our son and one of your stories. Tonight after Alan finished his Mister Rodgers style, soothing story telling: Jacky, after a huge yawn, asked me “Was it true. Do toys really become real?” I thought for a moment and continuing the story’s tone said in a hushed whisper “I’m not sure, but if it does, it is very rare. And then only if the boy really, really loves the toy! Then maybe it does happen.” He looked at me a minute and asked if he could sleep with “Mopsy” tonight. I fished the old stuffed dog out of the toy box and tucked it in with Jacky. Thanks to The Story Home, this one was special night.
