Fall Routines!

I recently read a blog that inspired me to kick our fall routine into high gear. We had a great routine last school year and I am actually really excited to get this year started. Tonight, my daughter and I sat down and made a morning and evening schedule and night one went very well! I will keep you updated as the days go on. This is what our fall routine looks like:

Morning:

Wake up

Make bed

Change clothes

Do hair

Eat breakfast

Put dishes away

wash hands/face/brush teeth

(if this is all done 1/2 hour before school, she gets to watch her favorite show... if not, she loses that privilege)

Evening:

Dinner

Put dishes away

Wash hands

Pick up toys

Lay out clothes for next day

Get back pack ready and place by the front door

Bath

PJ's

Teeth

Potty

Story

Prayers

Hugs

(If this is not done by designated bed time, she misses out on her story)

It's not too much to ask and it allows her to gain some responsibility and independence. Try it out with your kids... you might be surprised how much easier your mornings and evenings become! I could blog about my grown up routine but it might make your head spin... more on that later!
