-Hello!

-Hello!

BOTH: It's us!

-Topsy!

-And Tim!

'We've got...'

BOTH: '..new shoes.'

Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp!

'We're wearing shoes at bedtime.'

'Stomping is really noisy.'

I love stomping in my new shoes.

Me, too.

Oh, it's you two. I thought it was a herd of elephants

marching down my stairs!

THEY TRUMPET

-Elephant Topsy and elephant Tim!

-Yes.

Elephants! Stomp, stomp!

We came down in our new shoes to say we're ready for stories, please.

Oh, OK. I have to say, you both look very smart and grown up

in your new school shoes...

even in your pyjamas!

THEY LAUGH

Now, can you two please stomp, stomp, stomp those shoes

back upstairs to your bedrooms, please?

-Shoes off and into bed!

-We wanted to wear our shoes in bed, Mummy.

Please can we? Please, double please!

-No, of course you can't wear your shoes in bed.

-That's not fair!

-Up to bed, please.

-Stomp, stomp!

-Brrr!

'Mummy reads us our stories and tucks us in.'

'Then it's lights out and time to go to sleep, as usual.'

-Night-night, Mummy.

-Night-night, darling. Snuggle down for me.

-Have you got Little Moon Bunny?

-Yeah.

Night-night, twintastic Topsy.

-Night-night, twintabulous Tim. Sleep well.

-Night-night, Mummy.

'But I can't get to sleep.'

SHE KNOCKS THREE TIMES

Tim...

'I go and see if Tim is awake.'

Tim?

'But he's not. Tim is fast asleep.'

DOORBELL

-Hello, Dominique!

-Hi, Joy. I'm so sorry, but...

-Dominique?

-Could you have Kerry tonight?

Yes, of course. No problem. Come on in, Kerry.

-Kerry?

-Hi, Topsy!

-Topsy, what are you doing out of bed?

-I couldn't sleep.

-Why is Kerry here?

-Hi, Topsy.

Don't worry about that. Why have you got your school shoes on?

-Sorry, Mummy.

-I'm wearing my new school shoes, too. Snap!

-Snap!

BOTH: Snap, snap!

I've got to get to work. It's OK for Kerry to stay tonight?

I couldn't believe it when the baby-sitter cancelled.

-There's no problem. She's welcome any time.

-Thank you so much.

Now, Kerry, I love you very much. Make sure you're a good girl.

-I'm sorry I have to go to work.

-That's OK, Mummy. I love you.

-You're staying at our house, Kerry!

-Yay!

'Kerry's mum is a nurse.

'Sometimes she has to work at night in the hospital.

'Usually, Kerry's dad is at home to look after her,

'but tonight he is taking her brother camping.'

-There you go.

-Shall I put it in my room, Mummy?

Yes, I think your room is the best place.

BOTH: Boing, boing, boing!

-Kerry, put your duvet on it.

-I'll get the duvet, you get the pillow.

TOPSY AND KERRY LAUGH

I've got Topsy's pillow.

Careful!

It's going to be so much fun sharing the room with me! Shh!

Remember, Tim is still asleep. We don't want to wake him up.

What's happening? Why is Kerry here, Mummy?

TOPSY AND KERRY: We're having a sleepover!

-Wow, can I come?

-Can he, Mummy? Please, can Tim come?!

-Yes, of course you can.

-You're coming to our sleepover!

'Mummy moved my mattress into Topsy's bedroom

'so I could join the sleepover.'

Tim, come on. Your bed's ready.

'And we all put our new shoes in a row and say good night to them.'

Night-night. See you in the morning!

-Boing!

-Right, into bed, you three. It's way past your bedtime.

OK, Mummy.

Are you OK, Kerry?

-I miss my mummy.

-Oh, I know.

There's a good girl.

You lie down. Close your eyes tightly. And you go to sleep. OK?

There's a good girl.

You're being very grown up about having a sleepover in our house.

In fact, you're all having a very grown-up sleepover. Snuggle down.

-Night-night, children. I'll see you in the morning.

-Night, Mummy.

Guys... I feel like I want to put my shoes on.

-Me, too.

-Me, three.

Shh. Be quiet.

-Everything all right, you three?

-Mummy's coming!

Come on, settle down, please. No more talking.

It's time to go to sleep, all right?

-Night, Mummy.

-Night-night. Shh.

-Topsy?

-Yes.

-Tim?

-Yes.

I was scared about coming to your house to sleep,

but now I'm really, really happy I'm here.

Good. We love you being here.

Good.

-Guys...

-Yeah.

Can I tell you something?

Well... I'm scared of going to big school.

Why?

Why?

Well, you two all have each other to play with

and Tony isn't coming to our big school,

so I won't have Tony to come and play with us.

I know.

You will always have us.

That's not the same.

-I'm scared, too, about going to big school.

-Me as well.

But we are all grown up now, so we can go to big school,

and we'll be fine when we're there.

And we will be able to wear our school shoes every single day.

-Yeah!

-Yeah!

'In the end, we finally got to sleep.'

'Mummy has to wake us up in the morning.'

Good morning, sleepy heads.

-Morning, Mummy.

-Morning, Mummy.

-Hello.

-Were you OK in the night, Kerry?

-Yes, thank you.

I loved my first sleepover.

'And that's when Mummy said...'

TOPSY AND TIM: 'You are very grown up now.'

You are very grown up now, Topsy and Tim. And you, too, Kerry.

Having a sleepover, starting school...

And look, Mummy, we wore our shoes in bed.

MUMMY LAUGHS

You wore your shoes in bed?! You silly sausages!

Come on, it's time for breakfast.

-'"And that," said Mummy...'

-TOPSY AND TIM: '"..was that."'

BOTH: 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 had our first ever sleepover.

'Can you remember who came round to stay with us?'

'Was it Josie?'

'Or was it Kerry?'

'The answer is behind Wiggles the Rabbit.'

'Look, the answer is Kerry.

'Watch this.'

-Kerry?

-Hi, Topsy!

-Topsy, what are you doing out of bed?

-Oh, I couldn't sleep.

-Why is Kerry here?

-Hi, Topsy.

Don't worry about that. Why have you got your school shoes on?

-Sorry, Mummy.

-I'm wearing my new school shoes, too. Snap!

-Snap!

BOTH: Snap, snap!

I've got to get to work. It's OK for Kerry to stay tonight?

I couldn't believe it when the baby-sitter cancelled.

There's no problem. She's welcome any time.

'Great game.'

-That was good fun.

-See you soon!

TOPSY AND TIM: # We can play day after day
