Eli has experienced his first time outs. You may remember he is a climber, and I am trying to teach him that climbing on the table is not OK. So one afternoon he had about 25 time outs trying to get that message into his little head. He was not a fan of the time outs.
But the thing that cracked me up was that Ali and Logan were upset about me giving him time outs too. They kept saying, "Mommy, stop it! He's just a baby! He's too little for time outs!" But I told them that, no, he wasn't too little. He can understand what I am saying, so he should be able to obey. I'm happy to report that the next day there was almost no climbing on the table, and no time outs needed.

Oh the pathos! I love the photos. It is hard to hold the line but worth it in the end. Thanks for keeping a blog. I love feeling like I know your kids. Love Aunt Jeanene
I have to tell you...I bet no one can look at those pictures and not say, "Ohhhh" in a sympathetic tone, so I get it when Ali and Logan try to come to his aid. SO CUTE! I remember all the consistency that you have to cling onto when teaching little ones about choices and consequences. I don't miss that one bit! Hang in there.
I LOVE that you took pictures. :)
Ohhh...poor little guy. Way to be consistent. He's looking so big! We really need to see him.
