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 choose him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my palms!!”). Daniel and I are so joyful and relieved that he’s adjusting nicely to a brand new scenario, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I wished to make the transition as simple as doable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would want (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly every part was dinosaur themed, however a minimum of he was joyful 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 crimson
-AND-
Nike Flex Plus in smoke gray
James has worn these sneakers for a yr 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 drag on, too.
Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the children put on outside footwear and indoor footwear (that they go away in school). They really helpful Crocs clogs for indoor footwear. 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, simple to wash, 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 perimeters are one of the best half. They make it really easy for James to drag on and off.
Pottery Barn Youngsters 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 obtained it monogrammed together with his identify.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some motive, I simply actually wished a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is lovable. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts for those who’re on the lookout 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 residence earlier than lunch), however it should match a bento field or different lunch container and an ice pack!
Crayola Youngsters Reusable Face Masks
James’s college asks that youngsters solely put on strong coloration masks (prints could be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been a fantastic possibility to date. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip throughout the cloth to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s a bit of tag to write down his identify on every masks.
