BOTH: Hello! It's us!

-Topsy...

-..and Tim!

THEY LAUGH

Grandma and Mossy are coming over.

Come on!

It's Grandma!

Grandma! Hello, Mossy.

-Hi, everyone!

-Come in, Mum.

Lovely to see you.

-'Mummy's away this week.

-And Dad's going to play football.

'So Grandma's doing our bedtime.'

Now, where's my "Hello, Grandma!" huggles, twins?

BOTH: Squeeze!

I'm off now, you two.

Bye, Dad!

Oh, bye. Have lots...and lots...

of fun with Grandma.

-Yay!

-Mossy!

-And I'll get them ready for bed.

-Thanks, Mum. See you later. Bye!

MOSSY BARKS

Mossy.

Right, you two, bath time.

But it's not bath time yet, Grandma.

I know, but I'd like you to help me wash Mossy the dog.

BOTH: Oh, yeah!

-Would you like to do that sort of bath time?

-Yes, please!

'I can't wait to get things ready for Mossy's bath.'

-Here's our bubble bath for Mossy's bath.

-That's a nice idea, Tim,

but Mossy has a shower, not a bath.

And she has her own special doggy shampoo.

-Oh, yes.

-And she has her own doggy towel.

Ha! It's got a dog on it.

Now, I need to test the water for Mossy.

She likes it not too hot and not too cold.

-I think this is a good temperature. Try it.

-Not too hot, not too cold.

-It's just right, isn't it? It's just right.

-It tickles.

That's good. Well, I think we need to get Mossy into the bath.

Mossy, come on!

She can... Mossy can use our bath step.

Like this.

-Then Mossy climbs into the bath.

-That is a great idea, Tim,

but I need to lift Mossy in the bath myself so she doesn't hurt herself.

-Can you put the step back?

-OK.

Thank you.

Topsy, you can bring Mossy up for her wash now.

Topsy!

Coming!

Ah!

Well done, twins, she's in.

Now it's time for her doggy wash.

There we go.

'Grandma gets Mossy's fur wet

'and we get ready to clean her.'

It's like jelly!

Can we start?

-You can, yeah.

-Bubbly, bubbly, bubbly.

-That's it, on her bottom.

-Bubbly, bubbly.

-Bubbly, bubbly. Bubble, bubble.

-That's it.

We're bathing him!

Look at this.

Bubbly, bubbly.

-Bubble, bubble.

-That's it.

We need to start on her body, then down to her legs.

Mossy's enjoying her wash,

but I know what will make it even better.

-Bath toys!

-Ah, now, wait a minute.

Tim, actually, that is a good idea, but...

Mossy can't play with your bath toys cos she might chew them.

I know - she needs a dog toy.

-I'll be back in a minute, Grandma.

-OK.

You can do her legs a little bit.

'Mossy likes to play with her ball, so I go and get it.'

I've got your ball, Mossy!

-You can do that if you want. Just wet her neck...

-I've got it!

Oh, great, there we go. In it goes.

-Plop!

-Oh, I'm all wet!

-Oh, you are.

-Oops!

THEY LAUGH

I tell you what we should do. The time has come, OK?

-I'm going to wash Mossy's head and then we can rinse her off.

-OK!

-OK.

'Once Mossy is soapy all over, Topsy rinses her with the shower water.'

Mossy isn't used to showers like we are, you need to be gentle.

Mossy's bath time isn't the same as our bath time, is it, Grandma?

No.

-Well done, Topsy and Tim, she'll soon be squeaky clean.

-Squeaky clean!

-Squeak, squeak!

-Squeak, squeak!

-Squeak, squeak!

-Squeak, squeak!

-That's probably enough now.

Oh! Oh!

Whoa!

You've got us all wet, Mossy.

Right, that's quite enough of that.

-I think we'd better get Mossy out now, don't you?

-Yes.

-Right.

-Come on, stand in the kitchen.

-There we go.

I'm soaked!

'When Mossy gets out, it's time to dry her off...

'with her special towel!'

There we go.

Oh!

Ha-ha! You've got us all wet, Mossy!

She did. She's a good girl, though.

Well done, Mossy.

Now I'm dry.

You did very well, didn't you? There we go.

Look at Mossy's hair!

Look at your hair!

-Look at yours.

-Oh!

Look, Grandma.

Oh! Oh, look at you two!

-Aargh!

-But I think back to normal.

-Oh.

-I think we'd better clear up before Dad gets back, hm?

-OK.

-Right.

-OK.

-Thank you.

'Before we go up to bed,

'there's time for one last cuddle with Mossy.'

Oh, you smell nice and clean, Mossy.

Oh, lovely Mossy.

DOOR OPENS

-Dad!

-Daddy's home!

Hello, Topsy and Tim.

-Hey!

-Did you have fun?

-BOTH: Yes!

We had the best bath time ever, Dad.

I didn't think it was bath night.

No, we didn't have the bath, Dad, Mossy did.

Oh!

-You need a bath, Dad.

-Yeah, football mud, eugh!

-Eugh!

-Run yourself a bath before you read their bedtime stories.

OK. Tell you what,

Topsy, you can both pick a story tonight. What story do you want?

Um...

Um...

-Um...

-Um...

'And that's when Dad said...'

I miss Mummy's bedtime stories. I expect you do too.

Yes, I do.

I miss Mummy most of all at bedtime.

Yeah, we all miss her,

but there are only two more bedtimes until she comes home.

-Yay!

-Yay!

-I love Mummy and I love you, Dad.

-Aww!

Thank you. A hug always helps, doesn't it?

-Yeah.

-And a huggle!

MOSSY BARKS

ALL: Squeeze!

Squeeze!

Do you know? I think Mossy wants a squeezy hug too.

-Yeah! Mossy!

-Mossy!

Squee-ee-eeze!

Squeeze!

Well done, Mossy.

Thanks to you two, Mossy's had the best day ever.

Thanks, Grandma.

BOTH: '"And that," said Grandma, "was that."'

Hello!

Are you good at remembering?

Can you remember what happened to us today?

This is our Topsy and Tim memory game.

Let's play.

'Today, we helped Grandma wash Mossy.

'Can you remember which toy

'Tim brought upstairs for Mossy's bath time?

'Was it a ball?

'Or was it a squeaky bone?

'The answer is behind Wiggles the Rabbit.

'Look, the answer is a ball.

'Watch this.'

Mossy's enjoying her wash, but I know what will make it even better.

Bath toys!

Oh, Tim, actually, that is a good idea, but...

Mossy can't play with your bath toys cos she might chew them.

-I know, she needs a dog toy. I'll be back in a minute, Grandma.

-OK.

Do her legs a little bit.

'Mossy likes to play with her ball, so I go and get it.'

Got your ball, Mossy!

-Just wet her neck for me...

-I've got it!

Oh, great, there we go. In it goes.

-Plop!

-Oh, I'm all wet!

-Oh, you are!

-Aah!

-Oh!

'Great game!'

That was good fun.

See you soon.
