Time Out



Yesterday the kids got their first "official" time outs. Gavin got to spend a couple minutes in Abby's crib and she got to spend a couple minutes in Gavin's crib! It started when Gavin decided to climb up on the kitchen chairs and onto the kitchen table. I told him to get down and he didn't listen so I lifted him off the table. When he started climbing on the table again I told him no. He didn't listen so he went in time out. After a minute or so I brought him back out and then both the kids did it so they both got time outs. Abby was crying very hard during her time out but Gavin didn't seem to phased by it! After they came out from their time outs Abby sat on daddy's lap very quiet for a while and Gavin went right back to the table. I asked him if he wanted a time out and he thought about it for a second and got down! so maybe it worked or maybe it was just coincidence.

I bought the kids a bop bag for them to hit around when it is too hot outside or raining. They prefer to sit on it but it was really fun to watch them play with it! Gavin loves it...he carries it around with him which is quite a site since it is about double his height!

Other news from the weekend...Pat and went to see the Dark Knight movie and LOVED it! I would go see it again! We also went to Paperfest on Friday night and had WAY TOO much fun...Satuday was a very long day!
