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!!” After I choose 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 nicely to a brand new state of affairs, 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 go well with?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant nearly every thing was dinosaur themed, however no less than he was blissful to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is a number of the nice choices I discovered!
My Favourite Finds for Preschool
Nike Flex Runner in sport/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 tug on, too.
Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the youngsters 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 carrying them round the home for a number of weeks to get used to them and thus far 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 numerous sizes). Fully waterproof, not too heavy, washable, and the handles on the perimeters are the very best 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 feel the small dimension will serve us nicely for a pair years. Oh, and we received it monogrammed together with his title.
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 preserve that in thoughts when you’re on the lookout for a fall jacket with a bit 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, material serviette, and James’s water bottle suits proper inside (he comes residence earlier than lunch), however it would 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 colour masks (prints will be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful material masks has been an excellent choice thus far. 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 tag to jot down his title on every masks.
