No Likey Time Out

Boo DOES NOT LIKEY TIME OUT!!!. She can throw an absolute temper tantrum and is very strong. She stiffens so you can't sit her down or will go limp so you can't stand her up. If you hold her, she will struggle and work up a sweat trying to get down. All the while screaming at top volume - it's an eardrum buster. I do have to say that this is getting better the more we work with her and she learns her boundaries and how far she can push the envelope. The other night Schmoo earned some corner time. Boo decided she'd have time out with him and went to sit with him. She was very curious about Schmoo's time out. Thinking this would be a good example for Boo, I made a special point of telling her that this is a good time out and to look at how Schmoo was sitting quietly in the corner. Schmoo, wanting to get involved, asked, "Mommy, do you know what a bad time out is?" I said no and his face broke into a big smile and pointed at Boo! That was so funny he immediately got his get-out-of-time-out card and got to pass GO!
