TIME OUT!!

The time out thing seems to be working pretty well. There are even times now that Jaydan will do something that he knows earns a time out, look right at us, and just take himself to the time out rug without us having to even say anything. He stomps over and plops himself down and wails..... just like we told him to go!!! It seems to help a lot for him to just have a few moments of no stimulations to get himself back under control. Here is the issue we are having now (he TOTALLY gets this from his Dad). We make him hug us to say "sorry" before he can get out...... that's when we talk about why he got put there, etc. That child would rather sit in the corner for 30 minutes than apologize!!! Often, he ends up setting for two or three more "sessions" before he will finally give in and give you a hug. Lord help us!!!

I love the picture of time out! It is amazing what personalities they already have at such a young age. I saw your parents, brother, sister-in-law and niece today in McCall at the Pancake House. It was great to see them. I didn't realize that your brother lived here in town. I can't believe that in such a small town I haven't seen and he said he has lived here for a year. Imagine that! Have a great Christmas!
