Time Out

We have tried many different discipline methods with Caleb. It seems that the one that works the best is time out. Caleb hates being taken away from the action, so this by far is the worst punishment you could think of. Lately, his favorite thing to do is tease his brother and take his paci away from him. After several warnings, he did it again. Off he went to time out. Of course he was screaming and kicking and you would have thought I had beaten him. I left the room for two seconds and all of sudden the dramatic crying had stopped. Oh no, I thought, what is he doing? Even though he knows not to get up, I figured that is what he did and why he wasn't crying. Well, I come back into the room and this is what I saw...


Caleb had talked Caden into sitting with him in timeout until it was time to get up. I guess he is taking the approach that if you can't beat them, you might as well join them!!!
