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 decide him up within the afternoons, he tells me the issues he did (“I washed my arms!!”). Daniel and I are so comfortable and relieved that he’s adjusting nicely to a brand new scenario, particularly after final 12 months and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I needed to make the transition as straightforward as potential 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 virtually all the pieces was dinosaur themed, however at the least he was comfortable 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 purple
-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 outside footwear and indoor footwear (that they go away at college). They beneficial Crocs clogs for indoor footwear. James has been carrying them round the home for a couple of weeks to get used to them and to this point 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 obtained it monogrammed along with his title.
Cat & Jack Yellow Raincoat
For some cause, I simply actually needed a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is cute. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so preserve that in thoughts for those who’re searching for a fall jacket with somewhat 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 dwelling earlier than lunch), however it’s going to 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 could be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an ideal possibility to this point. 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 somewhat tag to jot down his title on every masks.
