Thanks everyone. This morning went relatively smoothly. Of course the real test will be in a few weeks as the routine sets in. But he did wake up and proclaim "even though I didn't want to get up [out of bed] I did immediately because today is a school day." That's a huge difference between him now and a year ago. (He also had surgery this summer to remove adenoids and tonsils to hopefully address sleep apnea.)

I'll keep everyone posted. And good luck to everyone else starting school too.
