Timeout Moments

3/23/2015

I finally think I have a two year old. I have been using the timeout method for awhile now with Owen but I think it is just now sinking in. I don’t think he really understood why he was sitting in a chair for the two seconds that he was. Well after the last two days I think we, he has perfected it. Yesterday after putting him in timeout for knocking my glasses off I told him he could get up but he had to give me a hug and say he was sorry. I showed him all the steps. So I picked him, gave him a hug and said tell mommy you are sorry. Later on after the second time knocking off my glasses he got up from timeout gave me a hug and made sounds for me. I’ll take it. Anything close works for me. Then later on in the day he actually walked up to me knocked my glasses off, sat in the timeout chair for about two seconds and then got up, hugged me and said “sorry”. This got a secret laugh from me since he was punishing himself just to see all the reactions. I think I have to rethink my strategy for this whole timeout thing. 

Today for timeout he was learning how far he could push it. He would sit in the chair and then roll with it to get a toy. It is a beanbag chair so it moves easily. I think he has learned the system. 

I feel like this is something he never would have done a month ago when he was on milk. I see all these big changes in him and a wonderful sparkle in his eyes… even if it is mischievous. Every day I’m thankful for the changes in my son. The littlest steps are the biggest leaps.
