Discipline

How to discipline is always a concern. We don't want to be too tough, but we have to set some boundaries. Lately, "time out" has been working well for Ian. We didn't know for sure if he understood or not. Today...we got our answer.

Charlie and Ian were playing basketball in the living room. Charlie shot the ball and it hit the table. I said "Daddy"...with an ever so slight mommy tone. Ian then took control. He said "don't throw my ball." Then he promptly walked over to his time out spot and said, ever so sternly......"TIME OUT DADDY....SIT DOWN."

Haaa! That's awesome.. I luv it.
Maya's latest thing is throwing out a pretend 'hit' and then reprimanding herself - 'Maya, No.. Don't hit! Nice girl'.
They are so entertaining at this stage!
