Time Out


We started giving Eddie time outs at two years old. Peter started giving himself time outs at 14 months old. A spot against the wall in our hall is the designated time out location. Whenever Eddie is having a timeout, Peter rushes over to join him. He likes trying to talk to Eddie and playing with Eddie during time out. When this doesn't fly, Peter just puts his back against the wall and sits. When I went to take a picture, Peter left the spot. I said, "Peter, go to time out." He went back immediately. Wow! Everything is easier the second time around.

What a good mom you are! And what good kids you've got that don't (yet) throw a fit when going to Time Out!

Ah, what a sweet brother Peter is! Or should we worry that time out won't have the right effect on him? VERY cute pic! Hug all the boys for me!
