At Montessori, the nappers have a special room that they get to go to after lunch and recess for a 2 hour nap. In the nap room, they have an assigned cot and their own blanket and pillow from home. They try to keep it limited to the 3-year olds and the 4-year olds that still need naps. This year, Connor was kicked out of the nap room on day 1 of the new school year. He has adjusted since then but he WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED when it first happened (see separate posting).
Today, I got a call from Brady's teacher. He is being kicked out of the nap room AFTER ONLY TWO WEEKS! Gosh Brady - it took Connor a year before he got kicked out! However, I am not surprised as Brady has never been a child to nap or even need to get more than 9-10 hours of sleep a night. Apparently, he has not napped every day, takes more than 30 minutes to fall asleep, and was very disruptive to the other nappers today. When I told Brady that he wasn't going to be a napper anymore, he was overjoyed and liked being considered big enough to skip naps. He is looking forward to going back to the classroom for story time and more work time. (BTW, the kids are allowed to take a nap in the classroom during story time and some usually do for about 20 minutes).
