Tonight, Lucy’s bed feels like a bouncy castle. Tomorrow’s pool trip has her buzzing with excitement, but it’s a double-edged sword. Her mind races with visions of cool water and sunny splashes, chasing away sleep. She tries everything – a calming bath, cozy pajamas, even counting fluffy sheep. The excitement feels like butterflies trapped in her tummy, fluttering and keeping her wide awake. But it’s only after prayer that she finds the peace that has been eluding her and she finally is able to fall asleep.
