Morning Checklist

I know we all experience it to some degree, but my kids have a terrible time getting going in the morning. Lilly loves to sleep. She will sleep until 10 every day if we let her. Claire has a mild sleep disorder and is tired each morning. She also has a very hard time staying on task. This morning we started using a checklist. Each girl has her own list on a clipboard and has to keep herself on task. Lilly's has pictures since she cannot read yet.This morning we were actually early to school. Why didn't I think of this earlier in the school year?
