The First Time-out
Today, I was at my wits end and Halleigh was driving me crazy being uncooperative and naughty (I know it's hard to believe Halleigh being naughty, but it does happen), so I brought out the time-out chair. Here are some pictures of Halleigh's first expericence. She had to spend 1-minute on the chair, I told her that if she got up I would start the time over. (I don't know if she really understood exactly what I was saying, but she did stay put... this time). She looks like she is being tortuted...
but before you feel too bad, a little later I had to put it up, because she thought it was fun to climb on it... not the effect I was going for.
Yeah... the same thing happened with our time out chair when Joel was about Halleigh's age. It's fun for them to sit in a little chair that's just their size! Joel now has to sit on the bottom step, and it works well for us.
Daniel sits in the hallway on the floor. The Stool Formerly Known As the Time-Out Chair is now what he stands on to reach the sink in brushing his teeth. Go figger.
