There is nothing consistent about Scout’s timeouts. They are never in the same place, and I don’t keep a timer so they aren’t the same length. (By the way…..who does?) Anyway, I am always amazed that when I (or Micah or Skilly on Nonnie or anyone else) puts Scout in a timeout, he doesn’t get out. When I put him there, I tell him he is in a time out and to sit and not move. And amazingly enough…he does exactly that. The kid stays there while usually talking to himself or singing and never moves. I have even kind of forgot he was in timeout a few times, and he was sitting still for up to ten minutes. Then when I go to get him, we talk over how things “should” have been handled, he has to apologize to me and the other victim, and give kisses and hugs to both as well. I am writing this down for record’s sake because I have a gut feeling that Navy Baby won’t be as easy. We’ll see. My mom is already claiming that she can see the hormones raging.
