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 fingers!!”). Daniel and I are so pleased and relieved that he’s adjusting effectively to a brand new state of affairs, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.

Naturally, I needed to make the transition as straightforward as doable 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 a minimum of he was pleased to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is among the nice choices I discovered!

Slip-on Crocs
At his preschool, the children put on outside footwear and indoor footwear (that they go away in school). They advisable Crocs clogs for indoor footwear.

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 numerous 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.

James’s college asks that children solely put on stable coloration masks (prints could be distracting to little ones). This 5-pack of colourful fabric masks has been an ideal possibility to date. The masks are light-weight, machine-washable, the ear straps are adjustable, and there’s a bendable nostril clip inside the material to assist the masks keep safe. Bonus: there’s just a little tag to write down his title on every masks.
