Timeout Trickery

Timeouts Supernanny style have really worked well for Ian. In fact, they've worked well enough that we really haven't had any timeouts in the last several days. One warning is enough. Plus the nice weather has made for lots of time to run off energy outside!

This is a catch-up post, so the following pictures are from a timeout a couple of weeks ago. The timeout lasted about a minute and thirty seconds - we had to restart the timer a few times due to not staying in our seat. :-)

Maybe if I crawl away instead of run, Mommy won't notice.

Almost there!

So that didn't work...let's try the same thing again! Escape #2!

Still didn't work. Hmm...what if I just walk away? No biggie. It's cool, right?

You mean you actually want me to touch this thing? Well, is just my hand enough?

You don't care as long as I'm touching the stool? Okay...I guess this thing isn't so bad after all.

How about this? Does this count?

Man, that gets the blood rushing to my head. I guess sitting isn't so bad after all.

Hmm...wonder how far I can stretch without my tushy actually leaving the seat?

Done? Yay!! I'm outta here so fast you can't even take my picture!

Ian, you crack Mommy up! I don't like having to discipline you, and you sure make it hard for me to do with a straight face! I'm really glad we've been able to have so much outside time lately and have been able to leave the timeout seat open and empty for a while.
