Let's solve this step-by-step by analyzing the images and putting them in a logical order to show what Mimi (the cat) does at the end of a long day.

We have four pictures:

---

Picture 1:
Mimi is standing in front of a bathroom sink, brushing her teeth. A toothbrush and toothpaste are on the counter. The window shows a night sky with a crescent moon.

Picture 2:
Mimi is in bed, wearing pajamas, yawning and covering her mouth. She’s sitting up in bed, looking sleepy. The window also shows a night sky.

Picture 3:
Mimi is lying down in bed, fast asleep, covered with a blanket. The moon is still visible outside.

Picture 4:
Mimi is at the sink again, but now she’s squeezing toothpaste onto the toothbrush — preparing to brush her teeth.

---

Now let’s think about the sequence of events at the end of a day:

1. After a long day, Mimi gets ready for bed.
2. She brushes her teeth.
3. Then she goes to bed.
4. Finally, she falls asleep.

So, the logical order should be:

- First: Mimi prepares to brush her teeth (squeezing toothpaste). → Picture 4
- Second: Mimi brushes her teeth. → Picture 1
- Third: Mimi yawns in bed, getting ready to sleep. → Picture 2
- Fourth: Mimi is fast asleep. → Picture 3

Wait! But look closely — Picture 1 shows her already brushing her teeth, and Picture 4 shows her *preparing* to brush. So Picture 4 must come before Picture 1.

Also, Picture 2 shows her waking up or just getting into bed, while Picture 3 shows her already asleep.

So the correct sequence is:

1. Picture 4: Mimi squeezes toothpaste — getting ready to brush teeth.
2. Picture 1: Mimi brushes her teeth.
3. Picture 2: Mimi yawns and sits in bed, getting ready to sleep.
4. Picture 3: Mimi sleeps soundly.

But wait — there's a small detail: in Picture 1, she’s brushing her teeth, and in Picture 4, she’s applying toothpaste. So Picture 4 comes before Picture 1.

Now, after brushing teeth, she would go to bed.

In Picture 2, she’s in bed, yawning — that’s likely right after brushing teeth.

Then in Picture 3, she’s asleep.

So final order:

1. Picture 4 – Squeezing toothpaste
2. Picture 1 – Brushing teeth
3. Picture 2 – Yawning in bed
4. Picture 3 – Sleeping

But let’s double-check the positions of the pictures:

- Top left: Picture 2 (yawning)
- Top right: Picture 1 (brushing teeth)
- Bottom left: Picture 4 (squeezing toothpaste)
- Bottom right: Picture 3 (sleeping)

So we need to label the boxes accordingly.

We are told to write 1, 2, 3, 4 in the small boxes (probably above each image).

So:

- Top left (Picture 2) → should be labeled 3
- Top right (Picture 1) → should be labeled 2
- Bottom left (Picture 4) → should be labeled 1
- Bottom right (Picture 3) → should be labeled 4

Final Answer:

Label the boxes as follows:

- Top left: 3
- Top right: 2
- Bottom left: 1
- Bottom right: 4

This creates the story:

1. Mimi squeezes toothpaste (getting ready).
2. Mimi brushes her teeth.
3. Mimi yawns in bed (going to sleep).
4. Mimi is asleep.

✔ Logical bedtime routine!

✔ Correct Order:

- 1 → Bottom left (squeezing toothpaste)
- 2 → Top right (brushing teeth)
- 3 → Top left (yawning in bed)
- 4 → Bottom right (asleep)

So, write:
- 1 in bottom-left box
- 2 in top-right box
- 3 in top-left box
- 4 in bottom-right box

That’s the solution!
