ok i did read the whole post but that's the part i noticed first. i'ma geek

what is his schedule like?

I don't have it in front of me, but if I remember correctly, his morning routine is now:

1. Get up
2. No milk until breakfast time (this is a change. He used to have a cup of milk right away, this will be the first break down point of the day and it isn't going to be pretty)
3. Pick out clothes
4. Get dressed
5. Use Bathroom (J was adamant that he would not do so before getting dressed, even though this flies in the face of logic)
6. Eat breakfast
7. Brush Teeth
8. Choice: TV or Books
9. Shoes
10. Go at 8AM
