A new school year is fast approaching.  Our lives will soon change when our kids go back to school and the routine we've grown accustomed to over the last few months will change once again.  One of the things I've started slowly changing now to get us, and more specifically my son, more acclimated to the early morning hours once again is getting to bed earlier and thus up in the morning earlier.  It is so easy to fall out of the routine of early mornings and early bed times once school ends and it's always a bit of challenge to change the habits we've quickly developed and become so used to.  It has been said that a steady consistent bedtime and awaking time is key for a healthy life.  Well rested kids have more energy, have better focus, do better in school and can more easily fight off germs and infections.
