time out!

So one of the "parenting" techniques we are trying to use is the classic "time out" routine. Today Penelope showed me just how much she understands about the technique by putting her Cookie Monster stuffed animal in "time out." Apparently he had knocked over her blocks, and that is "time out behavior" in her book. Perhaps the best part was that she used her play cell phone to set the timer, just like her mom does. She pushed some buttons on the phone and let Cookie Monster know that he is done with time out at the "beep beeps"! She is pretty amazing!
