Final week, James began preschool. The dangerous information is I miss him as my fixed companion, however the excellent news is: he completely loves it. On the drive there within the mornings he tells me, “I’m so excited!!” Once I decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my palms!!”). Daniel and I are so blissful and relieved that he’s adjusting effectively to a brand new scenario, particularly after final 12 months and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I needed to make the transition as straightforward as doable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would want (what the heck is a rain go well with?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly every thing was dinosaur themed, however at the very least he was blissful to take his lunchbox to highschool! Right here is a few of the nice choices I discovered!
My Favourite Finds for Preschool
Nike Flex Runner in sport/royal with college purple
-AND-
Nike Flex Plus in smoke gray
James has worn these sneakers for a 12 months now and I can’t say sufficient good issues about them. They’re comfortable, breathable, tremendous versatile, and light-weight. The loops on the again and tongue make it really easy for him to drag on, too.
Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the children put on out of doors sneakers and indoor sneakers (that they go away at college). They really helpful Crocs clogs for indoor sneakers. James has been sporting them round the home for just a few weeks to get used to them and to this point they’re nice. Light-weight, straightforward to scrub, straightforward to slip-on, and the heel band helps them keep on.
Crocs rain boots
These are the rainboots he’s worn for the previous 2 years (in several sizes). Fully waterproof, not too heavy, washable, and the handles on the perimeters are the most effective half. They make it really easy for James to drag on and off.
Pottery Barn Youngsters Mackenzie Dino backpack (small dimension)
James loves dinosaurs and this backpack is roofed in them. It’s cute, water resistant, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I feel the small dimension will serve us effectively for a pair years. Oh, and we acquired it monogrammed along with his identify.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some purpose, I simply actually needed a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is lovely. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts when you’re on the lookout for a fall jacket with just a little extra heat within the lining.
CamelBak water bottle
Leakproof, spill-proof, BPA-free, and dishwasher protected
Wildkin Dinosaur Lunch Bag
I pack this with a snack, fabric serviette, and James’s water bottle matches proper inside (he comes dwelling earlier than lunch), however it can match a bento field or different lunch container and an ice pack!
Crayola Youngsters Reusable Face Masks
James’s college asks that children solely put on stable shade masks (prints will be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an awesome choice to this point. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip throughout the material to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s just a little tag to put in writing his identify on every masks.
