No friends to walk with, alas. As to breakfast, haha. We have used a meal timer in the past to get meals done with!! But she is at the very low end of healthy for BMI (doctor muttered a little bit about meal supplement shakes last time but said we weren't there yet), so I hesitate to cut her off. She eats a good amount, actually. Just slllloooow. Lunch at school is a problem because she eats very little (talking, I think).

I would like to get her up earlier, but she is barely getting enough sleep as it is. As opposed to my other child, who is one of those gifted kids who needs less sleep, she needs more than usual. DS is 4 years younger and gets only 1/2 an hour more a night, which he is fine with. She still doesn't do well on less than 9.5--10 is better.
