Mornings

Mornings are not Patrick's best times. He loves to get up early, but does not like to be rushed by trivial things like getting dressed, eating breakfast and brushing teeth. So I have to keep on to him, much more than I would like. I guess he is starting to get it though. This year he has asked to shower before school. We decided to give it a go.

Yesterday morning was particularly rough. Just before bed last night Patrick brought me a list he made on an index card to read. He listed everything he should do in the morning in order. He then asked if he could type it up and print it out. I was willing to give him 5 minutes extra to see if this was going to work.

Rough Draft:



Finished "Neater" Version:

For the record, although the morning was better. I did have to help Patrick along to keep the pace this morning. AND Alison forgot her lunch box at home.
