I like the time out approach and staying put for as many minutes as you are old. So Hailey gets 2 minutes in time out. My problem is I fear this is not working.
She does something wrong, I tell her to go to the corner. She trots off directly to the corner happy as can be. I proceed to go over to her, crouch to her level, look her in the eye and tell her what she did and why it was naughty. She stays for her time out, she says sorry, we hug and off she goes - TO DO IT AGAIN! Today, she was in time out for throwing her tooth brush, she has decided brushing teeth is just not fun to do so she proceeds to throw it at the cat food. So to time out, you know the drill - after she was released she went to her bedroom and comes out carrying a chair to the corner and spends another few minutes just sitting there - FOR FUN!
Any suggestions??!!
And a completely non-related, but cute pix ... After much studying of mommy and daddy who drink the milk after eating their cereal Hailey has decided she likes the milk the best anyway and so she asks for cereal, then drinks the milk and disposes of the cereal when she is done!

how can you get mad at such a cutie pie???
she is sooooo funny!
oh, the fun of time-out will wear off soon. Savannah acted like she liked it at first too. Eventually she will come to see it as a punishment! :) GL!
