So we finally made use of that timeout chair that I bought in Florida. It was a pretty short timeout, seeing that it was her first, I decided to have mercy on her. Well, that set off the rest of the night - tantrums to be picked up, pasta thrown on the walls and the floor, etc, etc. She went to bed an hour early tonight.....and me? Oh, I had a drink. :o)

Its Time For TIMEOUT
Julia had her first official "timeout" today. She was doing great all day - we were having fun. Then we had some friends over...they left due to bad behavior...and somehow the "bad kid" aura stayed around my house! It all started when Julia began hitting Harley. I told her no - and she did it again. I told her no again - this time much firmer - and, yes you guessed it - she did it AGAIN! All this time she is giving me a smirk that says, "just watch me mom...I'll just KEEP doing it!"

Sounds like a drink well earned....you can join the mommy's drinking hour, it starts the second your kid's head hits the pillow :) ha!
Ow. Well, I guess you can take it as a sign that she's developing a sense of independence?
I feel bad for poor Harley, though.
