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 palms!!”). Daniel and I are so completely happy 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 needed to make the transition as simple as attainable 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 all the pieces was dinosaur themed, however at the very least he was completely happy to take his lunchbox to highschool! Right here is among 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 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 youngsters put on outside sneakers and indoor sneakers (that they depart at college). They really useful Crocs clogs for indoor sneakers. James has been carrying them round the home for a number of weeks to get used to them and to this point they’re nice. Light-weight, simple to scrub, 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 edges are the perfect 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, water resistant, and sturdy, with padded shoulder straps. I feel the small measurement 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 needed a yellow rain jacket for him. This one is lovely. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so maintain that in thoughts for those who’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, material serviette, and James’s water bottle matches 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 college asks that children solely put on stable shade masks (prints might be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful material masks has been an important choice to this point. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip throughout the material to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s a bit of tag to write down his title on every masks.
