Speaking of needing naps….Scout’s latest trend is spending a few outings in timeout each day. The worst part is that he is getting timeouts because of his conduct in his original timeout. This particular day, his timeout was in the bathroom with the door closed. When I went to graciously let him end his due time early, I found him playing in the lotion and making a massive mess. He then went in for his double-deckered timeout, while I cleaned up. Little did I know that I had another surprise waiting for me under the toilet seat cover. He had also taken every bit of toilet paper (3/4 of a roll) and put it in the toilet to make a wet and soggy mess. Thank goodness he didn’t flush! I couldn’t bear to put him in a third timeout, so instead…I showed him the mess, explained why it was naughty, and then loved him and read him books for a bit. Poor guy! Just look at that tired face — with the remnants of his black eye.
