Final week, James began preschool. The unhealthy 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!!” After I decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my fingers!!”). Daniel and I are so completely happy and relieved that he’s adjusting properly to a brand new scenario, particularly after final 12 months and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I needed to make the transition as simple as doable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would wish (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly every little thing was dinosaur themed, however not less than he was completely happy to take his lunchbox to highschool! Right here is a number of the nice choices I discovered!
My Favourite Finds for Preschool
Nike Flex Runner in recreation/royal with college pink
-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 soft, breathable, tremendous versatile, and light-weight. The loops on the again and tongue make it really easy for him to tug on, too.
Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the youngsters put on outside sneakers and indoor sneakers (that they go away at college). They advisable Crocs clogs for indoor sneakers. James has been sporting them round the home for a couple of weeks to get used to them and up to now they’re nice. Light-weight, simple to scrub, simple 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). Utterly waterproof, not too heavy, washable, and the handles on the edges are the perfect half. They make it really easy for James to tug on and off.
Pottery Barn Children 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 believe the small dimension will serve us properly for a pair years. Oh, and we obtained it monogrammed together with his identify.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some motive, I simply actually needed a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is lovely. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so hold that in thoughts for those who’re searching for a fall jacket with a little bit 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, material 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 Children Reusable Face Masks
James’s college asks that children solely put on strong colour masks (prints may be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful material masks has been an awesome possibility up to now. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip inside the cloth to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s a little bit tag to jot down his identify on every masks.
