He wakes up way before any of us, but most mornings we are rushing to get to the bus on time. I was getting really frustrated and hated starting his morning off that way.
Our bus stop is a ways away, and there are no kids by us, so I drive him to the bus and our school is 10 minutes away, (on the highway) so it is not like I can say "Fine you will have to walk" or anything like that. (Although one friend said she makes her son pay her if she has to drive him to school because he isn't ready in time)
Then I happened open THIS website with a free printable checklist. I needed to add a few things to the list, so I decided to copy her idea and made these on illustrator. I spent way too long on them (making my own chevron background....) but love how they turned out. They have so far been a great help. Ava even uses them :) If you have illustrator and want a copy to tweek for yourself send me an email.
P.S. I had the checklist printed at a copy place (my printer just wasn't making the colors as bright as I wanted), then I glued it to colored card stock and had it laminated so it can be used as a placemat. I think to make the 4 cost me like $3.

Genius! Seriously, this is completely my morning with McKayla. It makes me crazy! It can take her 15 minutes just to brush her teeth because she'll get distracted by something and then have to sing a song about it. I'm going to copy this!
This is brilliant! My list would be a lot shorter because everyone wakes up at the last minute. ANNDD Madelyn does not like to do things herself. So I'm in there physically helping her get dressed every morning. One of these days she's going to be able to follow directions. Right?? Someday in the next 10 years???
