Russelly in the R.O.K.S Galaxy

As the lights go dim and are replaced by the nightlight projected stars, moon & planets onto his room's ceiling, Russelly - snuggled in his sleep sack and comforted by the light drone of white noise - drifts into dreamland.

 
Before long, the white noise transforms into the rumble of jet engines which propel the crib-turned galaxy galloper The Chicky Meatball piloted by the year-old Russell and his cohorts, Moo Cow - the plush, lavender scented Warmie master mechanic whose alter ego Bo Vine is a snack chef; and Zommie - the crocheted zombie stuffie navigator and interpreter.

Together they travel the R.O.K.S galaxy in the vessel named after Russelly's mommy-made dinner - chicken meatballs and sauce - exploring the amazing world of growing up: people, places, pictures, sounds, objects, words, numbers and animals. 

When morning arrives, Russ awakens to find himself still swaddled by the sleep sack in his non-spaceship crib with the slobber-covered Moo Cow & Zommie stuffies tossed about nearby and eager to share what he learned during his night time adventure with mommy, daddy and house cat guardians, Whisky & Jamie.

When the lights go out, we blast off!
