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!!” Once I choose 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 effectively to a brand new state of affairs, particularly after final yr and never seeing many individuals.
Naturally, I wished to make the transition as simple as doable for him. I attempted my hardest to get all of the issues he would want (what the heck is a rain swimsuit?) whereas ensuring he’d like them, too. That meant virtually all the things was dinosaur themed, however not less than he was comfortable to take his lunchbox to high school! Right here is among the nice choices I discovered!
