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 choose him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my palms!!”). Daniel and I are so glad and relieved that he’s adjusting nicely to a brand new state of affairs, particularly after final 12 months and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I wished to make the transition as straightforward as attainable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would wish (what the heck is a rain go well with?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly every little thing was dinosaur themed, however no less than he was glad to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is a few of the nice choices I discovered!
My Favourite Finds for Preschool
Nike Flex Runner in sport/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 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 youngsters put on out of doors sneakers and indoor sneakers (that they depart in school). They really helpful Crocs clogs for indoor sneakers. James has been sporting them round the home for a number of weeks to get used to them and to date 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). Utterly 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 Children Mackenzie Dino backpack (small measurement)
James loves dinosaurs and this backpack is roofed in them. It’s cute, waterproof, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I feel the small measurement will serve us nicely for a pair years. Oh, and we bought it monogrammed together with his identify.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some cause, I simply actually wished a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is cute. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts in the event you’re searching for a fall jacket with a bit of extra heat within the lining.
CamelBak water bottle
Leakproof, spill-proof, BPA-free, and dishwasher secure
Wildkin Dinosaur Lunch Bag
I pack this with a snack, fabric serviette, and James’s water bottle suits proper inside (he comes house 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 stable shade masks (prints could be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been a fantastic choice to date. 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 bit of tag to jot down his identify on every masks.
