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!!” Once I choose him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my fingers!!”). Daniel and I are so pleased and relieved that he’s adjusting effectively to a brand new scenario, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I needed 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 virtually every thing was dinosaur themed, however not less than he was pleased to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is among 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 comfortable, 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 really useful 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 wash, 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 one of the 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, waterproof, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I believe the small dimension will serve us effectively for a pair years. Oh, and we obtained 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 lovable. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts should you’re on the lookout for a fall jacket with somewhat 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 suits proper inside (he comes house 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 faculty asks that youngsters solely put on stable shade masks (prints may be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful material masks has been an awesome possibility to this point. 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 somewhat tag to write down his identify on every masks.
