So James got sent to time out for the first time the other day. For us time out means you have to go and sit on the stairs for a little while, or if you're Avery sometimes it means you have to go to your room for a little quiet time/settle down time.
Anyway, the other day he pulled Avery's hair and bit her and so I made him go and sit on the stairs. He had been there for just a bit when I decided to go and check on him. For all I knew he escaped to upstairs or whatever. I turned the corner and found him on the stair I had left him and he had a really fierce pout going on! He had his little lip tucked in so tight and was looking down at the ground. I couldn't help it...I started to chuckle. And then I went and got the camera because I just needed to capture that moment. These pictures don't even quite do it justice. He is trying not to smile in them. But before that he just had such a down on his luck look on his face. I realize that first laughing, then taking pictures, isn't really conducive to an effective time out...but we'll just have to work on that the next time I guess.

Max is in time out quite a lot these days, he is always pulling hair, biting, throwing toys (with great precision) and just being mean.....I never thought a 2 year old could be such a bully! Good Luck!
Even though he's being so naughty, that face in timeout is priceless! I bet it's hard keeping a straight face....
lol We just started putting Abby in time out. It's not pretty. She is a monkey, though! She is really in to hitting these days. She's just so different than Emily was. Emily wasn't this naughty! ;)
