Mornings are usually a struggle around here. It's usually a huge ordeal to get Hannah to eat breakfast, sometimes grumpy, and has an attitude that can land her in the naughty chair. Not exactly a nice way to start off the day.
Before school started in July, I came up with a star chart and titled it "Good Mornings with Hannah". She has only 5 things on her chart:
* Make Bed
* Eat Breakfast (without an attitude, etc)
* Brush Teeth
* Good Attitude
She started off with a few great days in a row, and then started not getting a star here, a star there. So we came to the agreement that if she could get 5 perfect days in a row she would get rewarded either with an outfit from Build a Bear or a DVD she's been wanting.
Finally, after weeks and weeks of trying, sometimes getting to day four and having to start all over, she finally acheived her 5 perfect days!!! She chose to get an outfit from Build a Bear, so off to the mall we went!

Mornings were never my favorite time of day, either, Hannah. Way to keep trying! Is this outfit in the picture the one you got?
Way to go Hannah!! love the outfits you got your bear too!
the only way I like mornings is if I can take an hour to myself...maybe if breakfast is the last thing Hannah does she will have worked up an appetite from getting ready for school? or maybe you've already tried that...
Yes, this is an outfit she got. It was her lucky day that my punch card was full and she ended up getting another outfit "free". She chose a karate outfit! LOL.
Eating breakfast is pretty much at the end of the things to do, aside from brushing teeth. Her routine is getting up. Getting dressed. Making Bed. Eating breakfast. Brushing teeth. And Leaving. All in just over an hours time.
