Smith is sooooooo excited about starting preschool in the fall. He asks me almost daily if it’s “fall-time” yet? Yesterday, we went and picked up his very own nap mat. This kid was so excited!! I told him we were running a few errands and that the nap mat was last on our list. He must have asked me a dozen times if it was time to go get it. Sweet boy wanted his nap mat!
We barely got in the door yesterday before he opened his up right in the hallway. Kensington ran to her room to get hers too.
Napping in the hallway 🙂
He feels so big!
She was having fun too!
Later, I found him watching Mickey Mouse with his nap mat in the play room. He also put it in his bed while he napped. If you know Smith, you know that this kid loooooooooves his naps (he takes a 4 hour nap every day…yes, 4 hours!), so it’s no surprise to me that his favorite part of getting ready for school is the nap mat.
My heart is in the same place as Smith’s…is it fall time yet?

Could those kiddos be ANY more adorable?!?! 🙂 They are just precious! And…4 hours?? Really?! Lucky mama! I won't tell my sister that because my 3 year old nephew has pretty much decided that naps are strictly for the birds. Well, so is a night of sleep as well. He and my niece just weren't born to be sleepers, apparently. My sis and brother-in-law hope, wish, and pray otherwise! Ha! 🙂

What are you going to do with both kiddos in school in the fall??? Smith really is the easiest kid ever – bless his heart with those 4 hour naps!!! It's good that he's so excited about school and letting him pick out his own nap mat makes it even more special for him. The camouflage was a fun choice. My little ones are going to be starting a Montessori program in September. I am so excited for them and hope it fosters a love of learning in them. Sharing your anticipation of Fall … XOXO

I had no idea they made such cute nap mats! I just remember using old plastic things as a kid. But they were the schools and not ours personal. But I guess times have changed a little since then.

Those nap mats are great! I'm guessing someone made them for you?

I wish 8 month olds could be excited about a nap mat…or naptimes in general. I pray that she will get a little older and want to sleep for four hours (or even two)! This was not her best sleeping day, bless her heart. Cute pictures, cute mats, cute kids!
