It’s pretty sad when you are so distracted that you forgot you put your 5 year old in the time out corner (for what was supposed to be about a three minute time out) about six minutes ago.
“Mom? Can I get out of timeout?” Smiles calls from the corner.
“Oh – are you still in time-out?” Mom tries desperately to remember which offense he was sent to time out for this time.
“Yes.”
“Well, okay. You can come out now. Just don’t do that again.” Surely, whatever it was, he shouldn’t do it again. Bad mommy. Bad.
Cute, I always enjoy reading about your life and family. Love you, Elaine
My poor baby! He needs his Grandma there to watch out for him. Look at that adorable face! As if he could ever do anything wrong!
