Time Out!

Yesterday Trey kept on climbing in the baby swing, and he continued to do it after I took him off and told him that he shouldn't get in there. So I decided that maybe it was time to have a Time Out. I have a little giraffe chair that is in his room, so I grabbed it and sat him on it. He started to laugh and thought that it was fun. After putting him on it a couple more times he still thought that it was funny. Well later on after Dj got home he was throwing a fit, so I told DJ to sit him on his time out chair. He looked at me and said he has one? I told him about how I started this today, so he put him on it and he kept on getting off cause it was in his room. Dj put it in the hallway so that he could see him. He didn't like it when daddy put him on there though. So today he had to sit on it and of course he started to laugh. I have a hard time getting him to know that I am being serious. It is just hard to discipline your child. If any of you have any advice please let me know what you have done with your kids that have worked. Thanks! Here are some pictures of him on his chair yesterday. Also I put some cute pictures of Pace. He is getting so big already I can't believe it.

this is so funny! I would just take advantage of his cute little laughs as he sits in time out ;o). They are so much smarter than we think. I had hard times with Michael in time out and still do. Sometimes I end up laughing with him. It's too hard! Good luck!

It's so frustrating when you're trying to discipline your child and they laugh or smile at you. When Jaylee was that age I put her in a time out in her crib because she couldn't get out, and she didn't like being in there when it wasn't sleepy time. The picture of Pace smiling is adorable!

Oh man do i feel you or what! saige is doing the same thing. She doesn't listen, she climbs all over the chairs and up on the table i would pat her butt and say no. wasn't working so i looked it up online how to disipline your one year old. They said don't spank them cause it teaches them hitting is ok. I felt so bad! they said time outs don't work at this age because by the time they are in the corner they don't remember what they did. So what they suggested was to be calm and just keep saying no and give a reason why they can't. haha right. so whatever. i geuss by doing that they will grow up to have boundries? who ever it was that wrote that must have patience because i'll tell you what i get pretty frustrated as saige is climbing up on the table for the hundredth time in the day! good luck! let me know what works for you!

Oh my... pace is getting big! He's so cute. You have very handsome boys:)

-I've watched a little girl Ebby for the past two years and when it comes to the 'naughty stool' as we call it. I just try to keep a very serious, even tone and place them on it until they stay. I get down to her lever and explain why she's there. Luckily this has worked very well for me. Who knows though, I'm not a parent yet so it might be so much harder when it's my son.... Good luck:)
