So I picked up my son from daycare yesterday and was informed that he had been put in his first "Time Out." We have been attempting this at home with very little success. He is nearly two and getting him to sit for any lenght of time in any part of the house is next to impossible. He's a good boy, don't get me wrong, but lately his fasination with our pets has taken a slightly more uncomfortable turn, namely for the dogs. He has realized that running trucks into them gets them to make sounds he never dreamed possible and that chasing them with said trucks makes for such an awesome game, again, not so much for the dogs. We've tried the taking away of the truck, (his favorite toy) and calmly explaining the what's and the why's of this terrible punishement but unfortunately we can barely hear our own calmess over the giant sized screams that somehow come out of out tiny little angel. The screams only stop when he has either...
