First Time Out At Home

Well, lets just say that Sunday night was not a good night. Emily was good pretty much the whole day. It was nice outside so we went out in the backyard and played for a little bit. Later that night Emily kept playing by the trash can in the kitchen and then accidentally knocked it over. There were some drinks that were still full in the trash and they leaked all over the tile floor and then onto the carpet. She knew she was in trouble and I saw her kind of standing in the corner. So, I told her that she was in time out and that she had to stand in the corner between our front door and the coat closet.

Her teachers at daycare make the kids go to timeout so this wasn't anything new. Well, it was at home. She doesn't really get into trouble at home. Of course, we'll tell her no when she's getting into something that she shouldn't but that's about it.

She did pretty good standing in the corner. She mostly looked pititful standing there. I noticed she kind of started venturing away from the corner and was standing by Matt's speaker leaning up against it. Well, can you guess what happened next? She knocked the speaker over and Matt got so mad and put her in her room. The speakers are fine but he had to redo the wires because they ripped out of the speaker. At least we know that she does somewhat okay with timeout for only being a year and a half old.
