A nap mat and backpack for Maxton who is excited for school

Posted Jul 26, 2023
Maxton is thrilled to finally start pre-k. He's excited to play with other kids, go to the big playground, and have lunch at school. Despite insisting he doesn't need to nap, he'll need a nap mat. He'll also require a backpack to bring his belongings home every day.

Maxton is 4 years old and lives in AL

Maxton loves to cuddle and watch cartoons when he first wakes up but after that he’s all go! He likes to play outside with the big kids. Dump trucks are his favorite thing at the moment. He puts rocks in them and dumps them in his aunt's flower garden just so he can tell her he will get them out “after work”. He went to live with his aunt after being abused and neglected. He didn't speak at all but is talking up a storm now. He was basically starved and now he doesn't have a healthy relationship with food and is always looking for something to eat even when he has just eaten a meal. He has come so far and his aunt is so proud of him!
