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 arms!!”). Daniel and I are so joyful and relieved that he’s adjusting properly to a brand new scenario, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.

Naturally, I needed to make the transition as simple as doable 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 nearly all the things was dinosaur themed, however at the very least he was joyful 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 recreation/royal with college purple
-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 drag on, too.

Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the youngsters put on out of doors footwear and indoor footwear (that they go away at college). They really useful 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 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 numerous sizes). Fully waterproof, not too heavy, washable, and the handles on the edges 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 believe the small measurement will serve us properly for a pair years. Oh, and we acquired 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 lovable. It’s extra of a light-weight jacket, so preserve that in thoughts in the event you’re in search of a fall jacket with just a little 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, fabric serviette, and James’s water bottle matches proper inside (he comes dwelling earlier than lunch), however it can 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 stable coloration masks (prints might be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an amazing 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 just a little tag to jot down his title on every masks.
