I am sitting here listening to an old recording of Puff the Magic Dragon. As you all know I have an EXTREMELY good memory. So here I go ... Im playing a few old songs from my childhood and Im going to type what I remember
Every afternoon we would have a nap time. The teachers would set out our little green cots with a pillow on each and something to keep us warm. We would all scurry around the room choosing where we wanted to sleep and sometimes grabbing a toy to take with us.
Once we were all tucked into our cots the teacher would put on a record of children's songs. Today I remember "Puff the Magic Dragon", "Leaving on a Jetplane", and "If I Had a Hammer". I think it was the Peter, Paul and Mary record.
During the hot summer days there would be either a fan blowing on us, or a breeze coming in from a cracked window. I would crawl under my nice warm sheet and leave only my head, an arm and a leg out to catch the cool breeze.
I felt to secure and happy. I would quickly drift into a dreamland by the third or fourth song and then be awoken by the urge to pee. The teachers always knew when I awoke, I immediately had to go to the bathroom (things haven't changed much).
After nap time we would have a quick drink and a snack, then it was out to the playground to run off our newly gained energy.
