Spilled Milk

We had to try Time Out with Isaiah last night for the first time.

He has a very bad habit of tossing his cup to the floor when he is in his high chair. I scolded him, and he did it again... To the "naughty step" we went. Tim set the timer for me, and I had to sit with Isaiah on my lap. (Didn't want him to escape the naughty step.) He cried pitifully the entire time. When the timer beeped, Tim brought the cup over and we had a little talk about putting our cup on the table.

Isaiah ignored me for about an hour after that. I'm quite proud of myself for getting through it. He has GOT to learn not to throw that cup.

Well, I think it actually had a little bit of lasting effect. Later on in the evening, we were playing with Legos downstairs. He accidentally dropped his cup, and milk spilled everywhere. It truly was an accident, so all I said was, "Uh oh!" You're never going to believe what he did. He picked up his cup and lid and tried to put the lid back on by himself. It was soooo cute!!!
