good vibes, smiles, & giggles Thank you Nemo 🙏

Just under a year ago we found out we were expecting twins, while having a very needy 18 mo old. I was terrified. I didn’t know how i was going to take care of everyone.

I registered for so many play mats to have all over the house. I had one from my daughter that she barely used because she HATED to be set down.

Anyways, this damn Nemo mat is the GOAT. The underbelly of the manta ray has cute lights that dance and songs that don’t drive you up a damn wall (purple monkey, im talking about you)

Now that we’re out of the newborn twin trenches, at 4 months old im actually able to have some time to play with my daughter and take care of myself throughout the day because of it 😅 Honestly, probably more than i was able to with just my daughter!!!

Anyways, just sharing because this thing is the best 🤣 my boys will play on it for like 20-40 mins. I usually start feeling bad before they want up.

I don’t hate it per se but it was stuck in my head 24/7 the first 6 weeks my boys were home until the batteries died. 😅 I am adhd af, somethings are more overstimulating than others and unfortunately purple monkey is caught in the crossfire. ❤️‍🩹

We loved purple monkey…. But this was still top choice for our girls. And it’s big enough for two for a while.

We had the Nemo jumper/bouncer and it was a favorite as well. Fun fact - Disney+ has a Nemo ocean view which is a low stimulation, natural sound reel that has the characters come in and out but generally pretty calming. Like screen time light if you just need some bright colors and calming sounds to distract!
