How many of YOU have a 20 month old who puts himself in time out? Because I do and it’s totally awesome! It just started two days ago and I still can’t believe that that’s what he’s actually doing! Let me remind you that I have tried and tried to get that kid to sit in time out when he has caused problems, but all he has ever done is scream and scream and bang on the door to come out. So, this is shocking.
The other day he was yelling at me and being mean to Lindsay and since time out hasn’t been very effective in the past, I decided to try to ignore it. So, I go into the other room to help Lindsay with something and I notice that he’s stopped screaming and then I hear a door shut. So I go back into the kitchen and see that the laundry room door is shut so I peek under the door and see him sitting on the mat, which is what I have been trying to get him to do while he’s in time out. So, after a quiet little chuckle to myself, I asked him, “Are you in time out?” and he said, “Yep.”

Note to self: Logan likes to do things HIS way. Silly boy!
