It CAN Be Done

Adelie tends to be my slowest kid about getting ready for school in the morning.  She is typically the last one to get downstairs, the last one to finish breakfast, the last one to get shoes on, the last one out the door.  Typically, we are running late (or at least not quite on time), and Adelie is generally the one I'm trying to rush out the door.

Adelie was chosen for a before-school program two days a week called the 'Young Authors' program that started this week.  She has to be at school by 7:45 on Mondays and Wednesdays (as opposed to 8:15 all the other days) to work on writing a story for a literary competition.  On Monday Zach woke Adelie up at 6:55 instead of her usual 7:00 wake up time.  He sent me this picture at 7:18...

And so now we know.  As impossible as it may seem some mornings, Adelie is obviously fully capable of getting up and ready for the day in 20 minutes.  Too bad Young Authors isn't every day.
